still you are ignoring projection and earth form, or are you talking about a
tunnel (you will have to dig into the earth to get a straight line or decent
length)? (btw. you're ignoring also properties which require to split the
way). In some cases it is helpful to give editors and renderers a hand.
Especially very long ways are generally important so you don't want to miss
them on the maps, just because there is some fundamentalist that doesn't
care for tiling and other practical needs that we have.

cheers,
Martin
