  You can, of course, do what you like, but I'd urge you not to do
  this without an improvement in the editors.  If I come to edit near
  a junction and find 15 people have sketched out how they see the
  junction could be improved, that's a lot of ways that don't render
  that I'm going to have to pick through to find the actual ways and
  nodes for whatever it is I'm editing.  We'd need a way to quickly
  remove all the virtual ways in order to get through to the valid
  OSM data.
