You also have ambiguity problem in the other model e.g. when you have segments in your relation which are not defining a straight line... The applications using such relations would simply ignore the ones with ambiguities (e.g. not rendered). That would indicate the mappers what to fix. > It would also increase > complexity for editors/mappers tremendously when detaching nodes with > relations on them from ways. > > Detaching intersection nodes is not something usual. At the moment, the complexity is more on managing ways with an increasing amount of relations and an increasing amount of segments within the relations for a single street. Pieren
