Maybe he meant re-use the road as part of a relation, instead of
having 2 ways that share the same path...

Due to the poor handling of relations this is a bad idea imho, even if
the boundary runs down the middle of the road people screw things up,
I've been pushing for admin boundaries to be hidden by default in
browsers to reduce problems, especially with newbies that don't get
some of the more advanced concepts...
