[OSM-talk] Business Building Conventions

[Andrew Ayre]

If I draw an outline for a freestanding building which is some kind of 
business, then I give the outline a name. Mapnik renders the name.

If I draw the outline of a strip mall (a connected string of shops) this 
represents several businesses together. If I then put nodes on them and 
give the nodes names Mapnik won't render the names unless they are 
amenities. But not all businesses are amenities.

So when handling strip malls should the outline of each business "unit" 
be drawn separately? Or should I just ignore the fact that the names of 
many businesses won't appear on the map?

thanks, Andy
