And they are possibly rendering incorectly at the moment as it's assuming

Ok. So we add a fixme tag instead and something along the lines of "fixme=Does 
this need a layer tag?".  These show up correctly on keepright and josm 
validator and are more of a prompt to do something about it.

I intended that if there was a problem then any user could find the changeset

they could alter it.

It's a lot easier to look through 100 ways than 2500 ways in one change set.
