Not really. JOSM supports disconnecting ways since a long time now. But anyway: 
doing things wrong just to make editing easier is not a good thing.

Look at the google sat image:
http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&source=s_q&hl=de&geocode=&q=bayreuth&sll=37.0625,-95.677068&sspn=59.856937,107.138672&ie=UTF8&hq=&hnear=Bayreuth,+Bayern,+Deutschland&ll=49.946316,11.577148&spn=0.000754,0.001635&t=k&z=20

As you can see, there are no ways between the road and the plaza on the left 
side. But there are in the database (e.g. the one at the end of 
Alexanderstraße). This is an ugly hack to reenable routing, which was broken by 
letting the plaza end before the street.

(And I don't even want to start about the situation on the other side of the 
road.)

Mapping it the way it is done there does not really make sense: Either the 
exact geometry is important for you, then you should convert both the plaza and 
the road to areas. Or it isn't, but then there shouldn't be a problem with 
extending the plaza so that it borders to the road.
