Surely the fact that it is difficult to get it 100% perfect should not stop us from moving at all? As with all "big" problems, a divide-and-conquer strategy often helps to make things achievable which at first glance seem insurmountable.
As this functionality really should be built into each and every editor, we need a mechanism to make sure that all editors implement the same rules. To me, that means documenting something in a way which distinguishes between right/good and wrong/bad, which is often thought to be against the laissez-faire nature of OSM because it limits the freedom and creativity of mappers. Getting that balancing act right is a difficult challenge. //colin On 2015-11-08 13:33, Andy Townsend wrote: > On 07/11/2015 23:02, Martin Koppenhoefer wrote: > >> Are multiple relations for (pieces of) the same route really a big problem? >> We could have multiple relations until they meet and then merge them. > > The problem isn't that we can't merge multiple relations later, it's that we > can't stop them being created in the first place.
