Indeed, I aggree.  Dropping the amenity would probably be enough I think.

If you take it a step further, I don't even see where amenity is allowed on a relation checking the wiki (bear in mind I made 2 of those myself which I'm reconsidering right now) So stricto senso, it's not allowed, furthermore an amenity is a "interesting place I would want to go to", so it needs to stay concentrated to a local area.

You're right about the network relation too Marc, That's probably what they need.

The wiki clearly describes that the relation=network should be used to combine routes (walking, bus, ...) together. see http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Relations/Proposed/Network
This "network" groups together single nodes. That's outside the scope.

From a database design viewpoint, I understand that one wants to "normalize" common attributes in a separate table. However, this is not the way most things are done in OSM. We do not create a network of Shell-tankstations, McDonalds restaurants or BMW-dealers.

I would contact the mapper and ask him on which basis he thinks that we should create relations like this.

    Hi everyone,

    Been looking at this relation today :  271476  ( see
    http://www.openstreetmap.org/browse/relation/271476 )

    It has an amenity set, but these points are widely spread out,  I
    think this goes against the intended idea behind amenity's.

    Any comments ?

    Glenn
