i got the impression from the xapi page that relations are not fully
supported on the jxapi servers, either osm or mapquest.

i tried to download a relation yesterday, with probably 50 members,
and killed it when my firefox instance hit 1.5GB RAM use. more
investigation showed it wasn't getting the data i wanted, but a
gigantic set instead, from the whole world

if they covered relations completely, i would consider it, or not
create one at all and use the mapquest server
