I disagree. Should there be an industrial allotment with a depot next
to it, the two should be drawn separately. You don't do *industry* in
a depot, you just deposit things. In the same way, you don't do
*transport* in a depot.

Of course, if you're drawing landuses that cover tenths of sq. kms,
you're probably willing to ignore a mapping so detailed to describe
depots.
