As someone pointed out, once you put them in a relation, the tags on the<br>
ways become duplicative. While this is generally bad database design,<br>
it's also true that many consumers don't deal with relations, and so we<br>
need the duplication and the problems that go with it.<br>

It's also true that relations break very easily. Serge put it better than I could: <a href="http://lists.openstreetmap.org/pipermail/tagging/2011-August/008199.html" target="_blank">http://lists.openstreetmap.<u></u>org/pipermail/tagging/2011-<u></u>August/008199.html</a><br>

I proposed a solution: <a href="http://lists.openstreetmap.org/pipermail/tagging/2011-August/008204.html" target="_blank">http://lists.openstreetmap.<u></u>org/pipermail/tagging/2011-<u></u>August/008204.html<br></a></blockquote>
<div><br></div><div>I really don't understand this logic. I have never run into a case where JOSM has broken a relation in a way that wasn't obvious to me. Obviously I don't "get around" as much as you, Nathan, but can you remind me of a specific case where a relation breaks over the course of normal editing?</div>
