[OSM-talk] relations in order not to fragment roads (was: correctly mapping avenues)

Ah, now I understand.

The main thing that was proposed is using relations for TAGS that are  
not valid for the whole length of a way. This would be modelled using  
a relation but that relation would not become member of anything;  
there would just be a relation saying "for this part of the way, the  
following tag is valid".

You're talking about qualifying not a tag, but a membership - you  
want to say "this way is part of that relation, but only from node A  
to node B". This could indeed lead to the creation of what you call a  
"segment relation". That would itself be a member of the route relation.
