[OSM-talk] Multinode singleway relations

 Maybe this would be best discussed in -dev, I'm not sure.
 If there is a relation that applies to a way and nodes belonging to it, and 
one splits it (for example in my proposed street_number system, but I could 
see other relations that apply to this), an editor could take a few different 
paths:
 1. Do nothing. I think this is the current behaviour for all editors?
 2. Add the new way to the relation. This might not make sense.
 3. Remove the nodes no longer in the way from the relation. This might lose 
the 'role' data, if any.
 4. Present a dialog asking what to do. Probably the sanest for unknown 
relations (known relation types might be handled automatically).

 Actually the single way restriction doesn't make sense, hmm. Thoughts? 
Relation UI seems to be immature in all editors, might be good to 
standardise :-)
