[Talk-GB] Administrative boundaries: polygons or polylines?

[Colin Smale]

Bob, 

Glad to be of assistance. 

One tiny word of warning when you add role=outer: please make sure you
do it to ALL the ways (without a role) in a relation, because a mix of
empty roles and role=outer in the same relation will definitely cause
more problems than simply having empty roles! 

You may be interested in my page where I have consolidated my notes on
UK admin boundaries in OSM:

Best regards, 

Colin

It seems I should apply it to all my cases for best practice, as you write, because it does appear other software might be adversely affected by its absence.
