    An unclosed polygon is an error ... and should be fixed. <br>
    These can be detected using OSM Inspector. There are lots of them! <br>
    <br>
    Surely that is a higher priority than deleting duplicate tags from
    ways that exist in relations (closed of not)? <br>
    So go fix the unclosed polygons, that will have much more benefit to
    the map than the deletion of duplicates.<br>
