[OSM-talk] JOSM Validator

[David Earl]

I quite often find a residential road ends in a little island and I tend 
to map this like this:

    -------1----->----2----->
                 ^          |
                 |          3
                 5          |
                 |          |
                 <----4-----v

The JOSM validator objects to this as an unordered way. Is there a good 
reason why (is it intentional, or is it by accident being hard to detect 
for example)? This seems like a valid thing to do to me. I can always 
split it, but it seems rather unnecessary.
