[talk-au] Unconnected ways

[Tom Brennan]

While I could place a track across each grassed area, the placement of 
the track would be somewhat arbitrary.

Is there any point in trying to mark an area as walkable? In the example 
link below, people can walk pretty much anywhere across the two grassed 
areas, and it's only the track in between those areas which is an actual 
track.

It sounds like I just mark a track, and accept that in this case I am 
mapping for the renderer/router?

cheers
Tom
