This is starting to head in the territory where it depends on what  
editor you're using, or what tool you use to visualise the data. I'd  
argue that is your chosen tool doesn't tell you when something is a  
member of a relation, it should be fixed :)

Using Potlatch, a node in a way belonging to a relation is just as  
easy to notice (blue outline) as a node in a way which is marked with  
tags (black fill).
