I have mapped roundabout with 2 concentric roads linked by multiple
segments. How do you tag this if a normal way has to be linear ?

I think your script is going to detect a lot of non-linear things that
are not mistakes...

I don't understand why everyone wants to use "highway" instead of
"class". For me (but my English is not very good), an highway is a big
road... It's strange to read something as "highway=footpath".
But I strongly agree we should try to all use the same key/value for the
same things. If the standard is "highway", the applet should be
modified. It currently drive the user to use "class".
