and dates back to 8 February 2022, when we first published this documentation. We've just added a few words of explanation and a general link to this Osmose violation so that hopefully there are no more misunderstandings.</span><span style="font-size:10.5pt;font-family:"Segoe UI",sans-serif;color:#172B4D"><br>
<br>
</span><span style="font-size:10.5pt;font-family:"Segoe UI",sans-serif;color:black">It is true, as you say, that a double inner polygon might appear on features that have incorrect geometry or incorrect tags or are generally badly captured so that even if we
fix the violation as logged by Osmose, it will still leave the feature itself incorrect. Still, in cleaning up the data, we are moving things along in the right direction. Our aim is to make small contributions that we know will be good for the map.<br>
<br>
We would like to go ahead with the plan as outlined below, but if you have further concerns, please let me know. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
