I don't think I fully understand your description of the algorithm, but
do you create any new segments? Since the parallelized line strip needs
at least as much segments as the guideline there might be a case where
you would have to create nodes. Or would you only parallelize as many
segments as the modified way has at the beginning of the algorithm?
Even if you don't change the number of segments of the way you might
still need to move some nodes of the parallelized way which could cause
some troubles with other ways using this node when moved too far.
Are there any attempts to solve this issues or are my strange theories
even issues? ;-)
