I've send Loll78 a message to check into this discussion, let's hope he responds. It has to do with a proposed relation change which seems to be intended to be applied to the France border. Luckily that border hasn't changed yet. Take a look at http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Relations/Proposed/boundary_segment Cheers, Johan On Mon, 11 Jul 2011 13:14:15 +0200, WanMil wrote:
I vote for repairing it. I have read the multipolygon and boundary wiki pages again and again and think that they don't allow using the boundary-segment relations to compose the complete boundary relation.
Anyhow mapnik does not support using boundary segments and that's a good explanation why reverting the edit of Loll78 (http://www.openstreetmap.org/browse/changeset/8535622).

It appears someone (I can't find out who) likes the boundary_segments a lot. The three boundary_segments of Luxembourg now make up the Luxembourg border. That's in my opinion inconsistent with map_features and with the tagging of all other European countries. Personally I dislike boundary_segments: logically I understand it, although - also logically- it should also be used on continents, regions, cities etcetera which would be uncontrollable
If nobody opposes I'll repair the Luxembourg border relation somewhere wednesday evening
Cheers, Johan

Today I observed that the boundary relation of Luxembourg was changed in a way that it does not contain the boundary ways itself but links to other relations that contain parts of the boundary (Luxembourg/Belgium; Luxembourg/Netherlands etc.).
I am not sure if that's an accepted scheme for mps/boundaries. Does anyone know if that's correct and accepted? Should mkgmap support this?
