<p><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Verdana",sans-serif">There a few conceptual things I don't understand about how is_in would be implemented with regard to suburbs<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Verdana",sans-serif">I'm curious; if the border of a suburb is defined by a road; does the border change when the road is changed? If, for some reason, the boundary road was moved 10m north, does the suburbs grow/shrink
accordingly? Is the suburb border an infinitely narrow line in the "centre" of the roadway, or does the road sit entirely within one suburb or another? What if a lanes are uneven?<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Verdana",sans-serif">If it is not bound to the roadway, and is instead "static" geometry, then you could have a situation where a road which is supposed to be the border is actually entirely misaligned with the
legal border. Is_in doesn't cause these issues, but I think it may worsen individual situations by providing a misleading explanation about where a road actually is. I'd also be concerned about maintenance in growth areas where new suburbs are declared, etc.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Verdana",sans-serif">Explanation: Yes, they do say that the use is discouraged, but that is purely on the basis of boundaries being used as spatial relationships. I'm looking at exactly when that
is not possible. I wouldn't want to tag something that clearly has a spatial relationship (topologically correct) with a boundary. Then, there's not discussion aroune what to do when this happens, only that others still advocate its use for such a scenario. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Verdana",sans-serif">We'll have a list of roads "Evergreen Terrace, Springfield" and we'll have some information about the road like "Cars from Shelbyville are not allowed". If we can't locate
these road(s) in OSM because the topology of the road/suburb is inaccurate - we can't map it. Thus, either the topology needs fixing (which I believe is impossible and I'm not going to bother talking about that) or the roads on the boundary can have a tag
which is absolute and can be used preferentially (if desired).<o:p></o:p></span></p>
