As it's the table used for the rendering deleting them might not be 
possible.

I tried fixing them (only 3 left in Thailand) but for example relation 
812277 seams to be fine.

The problem might be that an inner way shares a segment with the outer 
way. Josm validater reports this as "intersection".

But that's the common way we're mapping it, right? I don't want to 
duplicate the nodes.
