[OSM-dev] iD creates invalid (?) highway tags

[Jóhannes Birgir Jensson]

This can occur when a primary and a service road are joined. iD does not 
know which one it is and so it concatenates them. iD displays the road 
then as "Highway" with this combined type as key=value.

I imagine this could be fairly hard to combat, GUI wise you would need 
special handling for highway types as some key=value types do contain 
lists.
