A novice user will hardly break an associatedStreet relation, but will
more often break addr:* when updating a streetname without updating
related addresses.
It is much harder to detect the second at the QA level.

If simplicity is our new mantra, who will be the first propose to
deprecate the public_transport relation based tagging scheme ?
