City centres maps look so much better with polygon ways, don't they?

To encourage this practice it would be useful if the R (replicate) key 
in Potlatch worked from nodes to ways. It could also copy the history.

A similar problem of loosing the history occurs when I resize 
roundabouts using the parallel tool.
