Only part that doesn't seem to fit this would be that relations aren't ways.

Doesn't seem to be JOSM that's the problem here.  Seems to be more of an ID
and Potlatch issue.  Both seem to have just crap relation editing systems,
and it's not made anywhere near as clear in these editors as it is in JOSM
that you're about to do something fundamentally damaging to the relation
(JOSM will even warn in extreme cases).

It's a start, but doesn't take a lot into account that would be handy.  Any
network lower than state doesn't get picked up (it should, it really really
should), and neither are other important routes, such as bus or bicycle.
 Also misses things like US:OK:Detour, US:OK:Turnpike, US:OK:Business,
etc... It's a start, but it can go farther.
