[Openstreetmap-dev] Coinciding ids for nodes and segments?

[Gabriel Ebner]

Somehow I was under the impression that nodes and segments could not have the
same ids.

However in map?bbox=14.7,47.5,17.2,48.5 there are at least 178 such
occurences; e.g. 398012, 403180:

  <node uid="398012" lat="48.196189681029" lon="16.3183999739673" tags=""/>
  <segment uid="398012" from="448965" to="448966" tags=""/>

  <node uid="403180" lat="48.0668234672101" lon="15.9262049930262" tags=""/>
  <segment uid="403180" from="451625" to="451626" tags=""/>

Is this intentional, a bug, a feature?

  Gabriel.
