    <p>I'm curious as to why a new user in their first changeset would
      make changes to such an arcane piece of tagging. What prompted
      them?</p>

      I've never seen the point of them & have removed a few when
      full addressing has been added.<br>
      This is another example of relations being used just to collect
      'things' together.<br>
      <br>
      The positives for using them are tenuous. <br>
      "adding information... only once" and "reducing the potential for
      spelling mistakes." is moot as multiple buildings can be select to
      edit as one, or the 'replicate' key can be used.<br>
