 This query, which requests a Way, returns a Node:

 http://nominatim.openstreetmap.org/reverse?format=json&lat=31.515380035347903&lon=-9.77214052951257&addressdetails=1&osm_type=W

 The Way that I was expecting it to choose, which is much closer to the
 given location than the above Node, is this one:
