The problem isn't that we can't merge multiple relations later, it's 
that we can't stop them being created in the first place.  Also "we can 
merge" might need a survey to resolve differing tag issues, as the the 
knowledge of "how to merge relations" and "what it's actually like on 
the ground" will likely be in different people.
