I would suggest any (!) automatically dupe node analysis tool to respect every possible tag present at two nodes. Even two nodes describing two doctors in one building with different opening hours are sometimes wanted to be at the same coordinates, there is nothing describing anything like level

After ungluing a node, move one of them just a little bit. (Unless you used a DGPS with a 10cm resolution and found that the centerlines are in fact on top of each other). If you leave them on top of each other, it's going to waste someone's time later on (either after a bot edit, a keepright warn
