Yes, I finally did that. Even if the dam is a mere 6.5 m wide, it makes
sense.

It depends what tags you're speaking of.

Doing as said above, I got a "Crossing waterway/highway" (at dam ends)
compliment from JOSM.
Expecting Osmose soon.

Having had them share the same nodes, which I like less because
invisible, that would have been "overlap" compliment, even at different
layers unless this will be accepted one day.

See what I mean?

Cheers,
