I would add: I expect many situations where data will be destroyed<br>
afterwards: If ways are split for whatever reason, this would result in<br>
two ways with identical start and end values describing another<br>
situation. (e.g if you have start=2m end=3m you will get the same<br>
section as 2m-3m/2m-3m). You couldn't split a way without measuring the<br>
width at the splitting point - as a mapper you would have to delete the<br>
width:start/end tags if you split a way without knowing the width on<br>
this point, but no one would dare or be aware of it.<br>
<br>
=> "... I expect many [or at the moment: all] editors that would destroy<br>
the data."<br>
