              <p>While it is clearly good practice to try and maintain
                order when splitting a way that is a member of a
                boundary or multi-polygon, not doing so doesn't break
                the object at hand in any meaningful way. Any processing
                of a boundary or multi-polygon on the other hand that
                relies on the members being correctly ordered is
                actually broken.</p>

          <div>There is no issue with member order and I'm not sure why
            you're bringing it up in the context of the issue I linked.</div>
          <div><br>
          </div>
          <div>The specific problem I'm calling out in that ticket is
            that iD is causing either gaps in boundaries or members with
            missing roles.</div>
          <div><br>
          </div>
          <div>For example, in Lewiston, Texas, USA:</div>
          <div>This changeset: <a
href="https://www.openstreetmap.org/changeset/108334888#map=16/32.9935/-96.9922"

          <div>Caused this gap: <a

    <p>The user in question deleted one already split way there and I
      suspect the end of the other part of the boundary that he did
      actually split in the changeset. See

          <div>Here's another example:</div>

              moz-do-not-send="true">https://www.openstreetmap.org/relation/170585</a></div>
          <div>If you expand the member list, or better look at the XML
            (<a

              moz-do-not-send="true">https://www.openstreetmap.org/api/0.6/relation/170585</a>),
            you'll see two members that have blank roles.<br>

    <p>Again I don't see any evidence of this being down to way
      splitting, it could very well be that both ways were added
      manually to the border..</p>

          <div>Now, it's possible to infer inner/outer roles
            algorithmically if nothing else is broken, but it seems like
