[josm-dev] Clockwise coastline, anti-clockwise water

[Dirk Stöcker]

Hello,

I try to verify patch http://josm.openstreetmap.de/ticket/737

Now beside the fact, that this contains an better algorithm for clockwise 
coastline detection, it also fixes a set of problems in the old code.

Now the result is, that the code works as expected and reports "clockwise 
coastline" and "clockwise land" as error. But it also reports "anti-clockwise 
water" as error. There is no doubt, that the original code wanted to do 
that also, but I found not indication on the website why?

So my questions. Should water be drawn clockwise or anti-clockwise, or can 
the check be removed?

Ciao
