To be more precise : OSM is based upon a 2D geospatial database.
In my mind, a road climbing a mountain won't have the same length in
reality than in the DB : the Z dimension may have influence too.

Dealing with this problem with a length key instead of introducing a 3rd
dimension in OSM is dirtier but far more simpler ;)
