I would also consider it to be vandalism. The ref tags on ways, if nothing else, provide a level of redundancy. It's too easy to accidentally break a relation; for example http://www.openstreetmap.org/browse/changeset/5980437 removed http://www.openstreetmap.org/browse/way/80643754 and http://www.openstreetmap.org/browse/way/80643765 from three relations (84533, 398569, and 399254). Here it's relatively easy to fix (once one notices the problem), but in a congested city center it might not be clear which road the relation was supposed to be on. _______________________________________________ Talk-us mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-us
