I also understand the relations as additions. The question is more
about additions to what.
As addition to the tags like:

way1: highway=primary, bridge=yes, onway=true
way2: highway=footway, bridge=yes

relation1: type=multiway, way1=middle, way2=left

Or as addition to the tagging scheme:

way1: highway=primary, oneway=true
way2: highway=footway
relation1: type=multiway, bridge=yes, way1=middle, way2=left
