[OSM-talk] Overlapping ways warning for areas

[Thomas Wood]

Ignore the warnings, they were mostly as a warning to inform you that
there happen to be two ways there rather than as an error. The
validator plugin should probably move it's level down to info from
warning (can't remember what it is at the moment for certain)
