[OSM-dev] Area rendering on Mapnik

[Nick Whitelegg]

OK thanks. I think the easiest solution might be to develop a custom API 
(based off a copy of the database from planet on dev) to return every 
coordinate of any way within the bounding box as a list of lats and longs. 
This API could then be available to anyone else who wants to easily do 
stuff with complete ways - easy manipulation of ways without having to 
worry about segments has been my no.1 api wish list for some time :-)
