That's exactly the point--that tagging scheme is intended to get away from
splitting ways. If this were to be adopted, the need to split ways would be
greatly reduced. Splitting ways would probably need to be made non-trivial
by the editors and it would take some careful support for copying the
relevant tags to new relations and modifying the old ones.
