[josm-dev] How about virtual layers?

This discussion pops up all the time. There are good reasons to put 
multiple ways on the same nodes, and also good reasons not to. JOSM will 
not take sides in this debate.

(As for borders: If a certain road or river represents a border, as far 
as I am concerned it should simply become a member of the respective 
relation; I wouldn't create a second way that uses the same nodes in 
this case.)

This could probably be done - do these cases not show up in the JOSM 
validator plugin?
