[OSM-talk-be] amenity on relation of widespread nodes

[Glenn Plas]

Indeed, I aggree.  Dropping the amenity would probably be enough I think.

If you take it a step further, I don't even see where amenity is allowed 
on a relation checking the wiki (bear in mind I made 2 of those myself 
which I'm reconsidering right now)
So stricto senso, it's not allowed, furthermore an amenity is a 
"interesting place I would want to go to",  so it needs to stay 
concentrated to a local area.

You're right about the network relation too Marc,  That's probably what 
they need.
