<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>The rendering issue depends on what slippy map you
view the data in. For instance the <A
href="mailto:Tiles@home">Tiles@home</A> osmarender layer always seems to
display coastlines correctly, whereas the mapnik layers as you say are a bit of
a mess.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Before you do any editing it might be useful to
know why mapnik is having a problem, so you know what it is you are trying to
cure. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Is it simply a case that the ways no do contain an
ordered list of segments, which is relatively easy to fix as JOSM has a menu
option which will re-order segments.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV>Does this script-based coastline data get re-imported or is it something
that will stay permanently? I noticed Teignmouth in Devon was a bit of a
mess from the renderings (wrong points joined together), but to edit this and
find it all overwritten or duplicated by a script seemed a bit pointless.
