How does it not?  A node doesn't infer a way that it's attached to, though
a node may infer what nodes it crosses through.  This is why relations
became a thing, to model things that can't be inferred from the other two
primitive types, particularly for enforcement and turn restrictions.

 I seem to recall there was an offer to put together the write-up out there
