Hi,<br>
<br>
I have a shape file from <a href="http://census.gov" target="_blank">census.gov</a> which contains the boundaries for all zip<br>
codes in the US. This data should not need licensing in that it comes from the<br>
us federal census.<br>
<br>
I would also like the community to answer this technical question: Each<br>
boundary obviously shares a border with another zip code. Should those shared<br>
boundaries have the same way, and then each zip code becomes a relation?<br>
<br>
Failing any negative replies, I will cook up an implementation and provide<br>
some .osm files for review before importing.<br>
