Assume that there is a state highway routed through a city. At an intersection within the city, the route turns in some direction or another. For that to be accurately reflected, the ways must end at the intersection. If the constituent ways extend through the intersection, as they might if someone combined ways without realizing the relation was there, the data will be incorrect as to the routing of the state highway. It would have "stubs".

How would the insertion of these new nodes cause a relation already
linked to the way to no longer reflect reality?  Does a relation
include a list of all of the nodes in the related section of the way?
Does any insertion of a new node, say to make a roadway curve on the
map correspond more accurately to reality, break any relations linked
to that way?
