Kudos for providing extracts in all the formats on fast download servers.

I found the following issues with the Philadelphia extracts:

1) If a way starts in the boundaries, it is included; however, nodes that are outside of the extracts are missing.

2) I see roads outside the city and the county in the extract. One of the ways was in Atlantic City, NJ.

Sorry, I didn't realize you were doing bounding box extracts.

Here is a poly file for Philadelphia if you're interested: https://gist.github.com/jmealo/5427870

Hi, thank you! Unfortunately the code I’m using only knows how to do bbox extracts. I’ve also been including a generous surrounding area for each place, on the assumption that some countryside is useful to include for any city.
