<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Thanks for the pointers. I was always wondering, if
import multiple boundaries from panchayat to district to state then we would
mutliple boundary lines. I guess with this method that would be taken care of?
Any ideas how we can fix the already imported boundaries? </FONT></DIV>

<DIV><BR></DIV><FONT face=Verdana>we'll need relations of type=boundary to tag
the borders properly.<BR><BR>there's always only ONE way to define a border.
always use the highest appropriate admin_level, ie. if a district border is a
state border as well, tag the way as a state border. no names or anything else
here, just boundary=administratve and admin_level.<BR><BR>then intoduce several
type=boundary relations, one for each administrative unit. for instance: if a
district border is a state border as well but not a national border, then you'll
need 4 relations: 2 for the districts and another two for the states. the ONE
border way is a member of all 4 relations.<BR><BR>hope i meda myself clear, if
