[Talk-us] Adding a new node by merging borders of two other existing nodes?

[Mike N]

Although it could be technically easy to do in this case by creating a 
relation referring to the 2 boundaries, there are many variations of 
regional reference names in the US.  Many of those do not match state 
boundaries and would therefore result in a maze of intertwined and 
overlapping regional polygons.   It is not a good fit for OSM.
