Hi,

Imagine there's a way with anonymous points and you make a branch off of
that. You'd have to convert that node to a "proper" node and split the
linestring. We'd end up with a crippled system like "routable shapefiles"
where you need an individual linestring for each bit of way between two
intersections.
Why would you split the linestring?
Are you suggesting to have a linestring with anonymous coordinates, but
some of them can be assigned IDs?
Because if you want a proper topology, the way branching off must
somehow reference the "node" instead of just the coordinate, else you
wouldn't know if there's a connection.
Do you care to elaborate on what the disadvantages would be?
No, I'm not prepared to discuss them with you.
Bye
Frederik
