Micromapping is surely an interesting area that we'll have to spend
some thought on; if and how we want it in our data, how this can work
with generalisation (zooming out) and so on.

However I have a feeling that our current approach of mapping "what's
there" will fail miserably when we try to create schematics of the
insides of railway stations or cinemas. Such floor plans are usually
not even remotely drawn to scale, often for good reasons. But our way
of doing things does not leave room for *not* drawing something to
scale. So maybe we just end up with links to some other system
("OpenFloorPlans")...?

Bye
Frederik
