Do the Interstate relations you mention contain information that can 
*not* simply be read from the planet file? I mean - if I removed all the 
bits that a non-agreeing user has added to the relation, would it then 
be trivial to put it back together by e.g. simply doing routing between 
the now dangling segment endpoints?
