I propose to not modify ways by default and to remove the way-id of ways that are modified during extraction. What should a tool care if the way references node-ids that it has no nodes for because they are outside the bounding-box? It has to ignore them. The removal of the ID is because this is no longer the way with that ID but a new and artificially created way that contains a part of the original one.
