Comment(by Rogerc):

 I think it would be extremely helpful to be able to choose one of the
 ways. I have encountered two situations in particular:
 1. Two almost identical ways with identical tags were superimposed. One
 was closed, the other was not. (I have found a significant number of such
 cases; presumbly an inexperienced mapper did this without knowing).
 Deleting one of them would be very hard without being able to select.
 2. Many areas (woodlands, lakes etc) have been entered in a rather blocky
 outline form, perhaps being traced from a public domain background. They
 often share boundaries with each other or with another way. More detailed
 mapping may show that they actually diverge and come back again from place
 to place. I do not agree that this is very rare. I recently found a place
 where a stream ran along the edge of a forest. The stream was split into
 sections and one section shared all its nodes with the forest. It was not
 possible to separate them - there was no unshared section. I had to delete
 the whole shared boundary and then regenerate both ways.
