[OSM-dev] Consensus on areas?

[Nick Whitelegg]

Do we have a consensus (particularly w.r.t the 0.4 API) with where we are 
going with areas? If I remember the outcome of the last discussion was to 
stick to one type i.e. ways and then have clients render the way either as a 
path or an area depending on the tags.

I'm adding code to osmeditor2 and Freemap to handle areas properly and at the 
moment I'm just assuming they're specially tagged ways, so please let me know 
if I'm going in the wrong direction.

Thanks,
Nick
