Right now, it's not practical to do this, because the main API only
returns ways with nodes in the request bounding box, and the only way
to get around that is by downloading a larger area. t...@h already gets
some margin around the tile, but it's really impossible to know how
far out one has to go to get all ways that might impact the rendering.

I assume TRAPI (which is used for most t...@h renderings) does the same
thing, but I'm not sure. However, it might be nice if it were changed
to return all ways with bounding boxes that overlap the area being
returned. I'll leave questions of whether that's possible or a good
idea to the maintainers/developers.
