But much harder to use for areas that share the boundary ways with an adjacent area. You'd have to resort to the / stuff that Potlatch uses or middle-click for JOSM (or whatever). New mappers are likely to make mistakes whatever editing software they use. Even if it is always a small percent, the rate OSM is growing that small percent represents a growing number of errors to notice. I'm not saying that there aren't ways to reduce the risk of large areas disappearing, but I don't think having to pick a boundary way would improve the usability of iD, and encouraging more people to edit regularly with an easy to use editor is worth currently having to reinstate the occasional landuse area in my opinion. Even experienced editors using unfamiliar editing software can make mistakes (reminds me I've got a couple of areas to fix, if they haven't been already, after I broke them with Vespucchi during SotM).
