[OSM-talk-be] My first attempt at a boundary

[Glenn Plas]

Exactly what I feared, that point in Muizen has probably never been of 
any importance,  in that sense the real historic centre of Muizen is the 
area at the new church (and old tower) , about 1Km to the northwest of 
the current coordinate used as centre.  Thats the reason I asked,  it is 
so way off anything important (ever) and the location is insignificant 
even now.  Muizen (was) a village that is divided by de Dijle and de 
Leuvense Steenweg.  Mechelen is currently consuming it at an evergrowing 
rate.
