Is this considered a "good" way to create areas? I'm doing some landuse=
tagging, and the obvious borders tend to be things like roads and train
tracks. I've avoided using the existing segments to create the landuse=
ways, because the segments would not be pointing in consistent
directions...but if this is "ok", it would make my work easier, and I
think it would also make the data cleaner.
