[openstreetmap-website] Website element display doesn't know about closed ways ... (#1147)

[Tom Hughes]

Could you explain what exactly you are expecting it to do that it doesn't do?

In general neither the API nor anything else on the server has any concept of something being closed as we don't have an area type. Some editors may treat lines which start and end with the same point specially and apparently you would like the browser view on the web site to do so, but you haven't said what it is you would like it to do.
