The editor is the only instance that has the necessary information. But relying on clients to do the right thing will fail in the long run. If the road in the example above is a bit longer and the situation above happens outside the yellow box, josm possibly has not downloaded the landuse areas mentioned and will only change the road. Without areas that are bounded by ways they reference you can not _express_ the fact that that the road above is a common boundary for both landuse areas. If both landuse areas would reference (a part of) the road as part of its boundary, every change to the road would be change the landuse boundaries.
