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>

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