Hello,
Now and then some user use the JOSM validator plugin to blindly merge
duplicate nodes in good faith but leading to more problems than before
(i.e. linking a road to a waterway where a bridge should actually be).
One of the idea I had is to refine the validator plugin to sub-classified
duplicates nodes in different categories:
- duplicate nodes linked to highways (i.e. all nodes at the same positions
are ONLY linked to highways)
- duplicate nodes linked to railways
- duplicate nodes linked to waterways
....
- duplicate nodes linked to mixed types of ways
If there is no strong opposition against it I am willing to look into it
an propose a patch. Let me know your thoughts.
I'm having trouble thinking of a case where "duplicates" (two nodes that
are near each other) should ever be merged automatically. The only common
case seemed to be administrative boundaries (e.g. city limits), and there
is significant opposition to merging these with road nodes.
