The correct way to tag these is as multiple ways... A way should just be a
continuous string of ordered segments in a single direction... This can be
less than ideal and is not most intuitive, however, the super-ways
proposal/discussion is aimed at providing a way of linking related
'sub-ways' into logical groups that share attributes...
