I agree, complete=no makes sense. But what should this be applied to? 
Nodes? Ways? I suggest it should be added to a node that's at the end of 
a way to signafy that the way continues alone roughly the same direction 
as it was going. I think it should be rendered as a a few dots in the 
same direction and the same colour and thickness as the original way.

Thoughts?
