Reading that and comparing the results I see they're matching. So I
comprehend what's going on.
But I must confess I don't agree that this is going on (though that
won't help anything I guess). Either one counts the whole border as
being part of the result or none of it. But ok, in my case having the
whole border-defining-multipolygon inside it's a minor issue.

Having said that. Would it be hard to make osmosis close polygons it
cut appart along the bounding polygon? I know there's completeWays,
but that would include too much.

I see, thanks.
