*If* the ways are actually connected.
While this list recently looked at Geelong and saw this problem, there is a 
prolific maker of ways in CentralWest NSW who does this, that is, makes many 
unconnected ways, ways cross with no node, ways have no names, and the ways 
don't line up with GPS traces.
Actually my significant other has a long list of complaints about this "maker 
of ways" and is listing them now. I'll tell him to join the mailing list and 
not muddle his whinges up with mine.
