    Hi Brian,
    <div class="moz-forward-container">
      <p>Yes, I would especially second Jerry's good comments in the
        previous discussion thread he started about sticking to a
        "strict" definition of heath as being characterized by species
        of the Ericacea (<a moz-do-not-send="true"

        This is also a quite common definition for heath on topographic
        maps in other countries, e.g. here in the Netherlands where I
        live.</p>

              <div>Hi everyone<br>
                <br>
              </div>
              Looks like a challenge.  We have discussed this before and
              there were lots of very thoughtful and knowledgeable
              opinions, but no decisions on any actions. I kind of got
              the consensus that many were uncomfortable with the spread
              of heathland landuse data but we never decided to do
              anything about it.  It would be great in my opinion if we
              moved on as a community and actually decided to act on our
              discussions.<br>

                    these features cause issues. My main question is
                    simply if there are any plans or ideas by the
                    British community of how to deal with these
                    features, or if there is any consensus whether they

                      That' a problem with the renderers.  Multipolygons
                      are difficult for <br>
                      both (human) editors and (machine) renderers, so
                      only be used where <br>
