Your editor will probably hace displayed a warning at step 1. At the
end of the operation, you've got a house missing it street, not a
fully broken relation.
Most don't. Right now JOSM is the only one I use that does. Especially
most mobile editors don't... some just flat out don't even show you
relations.
Fully borken or not. In my opinion a assiciatedstreet relation that does
not include every element is broken. At that point all the advantages
are gone.
That's nitpicking, I know. How about "breaking" addr:street addresses
to compare ?
Obviously not much better, but I think people are less likely to just
remove a addr:street without noticing than a relation. So I fail to see
how is makes AS better as everyone claims.
* Same remove/replace/add steps with a typo when readding addr:street
("what ? but I picked the automcomplete suggestion !"). Actually, that
works without the remove/replace steps as well.
Often I do this to convert a node into a area.
Sometimes I remove stuff by accident realize it later and instead of
going back just replace it, because I did more stuff in that time and
don't want to lose my work.
* Add a new addr:housenumber but forget/ignore to add addr:street
(would be no different with associatedStreet, except the local
newbie's work will have been prepared by the armchair veteran)
Why would it have been prepared? And why with AS but not with
addr:street? Most associatedStreet-relations I found in Germany did only
include houses where someone actually mapped the housenumber. I did not
find a single one where all houses in a street were included, but lacked
other addr: tags.
* Change the name of a street (btw, newbies often use iD and dont know
how to search objects by tag). Much more common than you think if you
consider street that have not been named yet or that have been split
at the wrong spot.
If a street is split several times and a user knows he can find all
parts in a relation I would no longer consider that user a newbie.
The point is not that associatedStreet relations are unbreakable, but
that there are less opportunities for breakage than there is with
addr:street.
And that's where I disagree. Removing a object for a relations is as
likely as missing a addr:street tag. In addition the consequences are
worse for the associatedstreet relation, because you assume it's
complete when it actuall isn't, which makes it kinda pointless.
