From what I can tell, the JOSM validation will say it has
overlapping areas when 2 adjacent closed ways share a common
consecutive pair of nodes (i.e. a common line). I get the impression
it's a matter of personal opinion whether or not you leave it like that
or separate it in to 2 adjacent parallel ways with separate points (or
even every 2nd point common if you want to be tricky I guess ;)
