[Talk-GB] Node v's Linear

[Shaun McDonald]

Hi,

I've finally figured out why the osmarenderer doesn't render aqueducts.
Looking at
<http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/index.php/Map_Features#Waterway>
the aqueduct is a node. Can someone please explain why?

Most of the aqueducts that I know of are linear, like a bridge.

Many moorings are long enough to park many vessels so to just have  
them as a node is a bit of a problem.

Railway viaducts have the same problem as the Aqueducts.

Mainline railway stations such as the Edinburgh Waverley are very  
large, so should be an area, with  nodes for the platforms if  
possible. This would help to show the location of the whole station,  
with all access points able to be added.
