[talk-au] Why set coast line to nation park or administrative boundaries?

[Warin]

Hi


Looks like some are setting natural features to government boundaries.


A recent case along the WA south coast has been going on for some years..

The coast line looks very confused and the National Park boundaries are 
being changed to the coast line in reverse of what is stated on the 
change sets... (bangs head on wall).


I was altered to it by OSMInspector identifying the National Park 
boundary being broken by the 'adjustment' of the 'coastline' ... that 
broke the National Park boundary...

The National Park boundary looks, in some places, to be the low tide 
mark and then in other places to be the hi tide mark, so it is not 
consistent.


I do understand where the two (natural feature and government boundary) 
coincide that it is easier to use the same way. But every now and then 
someone moves it to conform to the latest imagery of the natural feature 
.. thus moving the government boundary .. unintended but there we go. My 
only solution si to have them as separate ways .. making it easier to 
divorce the new nodes added for the new nature feature addition from the 
old government boundary.


Any other ideas???
