A good point. I was only considering nodes but I don't see any problem with
defining the east and west sections as ways (I'm not sure I would go as far
as saying any need for relations at present). Ways also permits some overlap
of the areas where the boundary between east and west parts is fuzzy or
disputed though I'd take a dim view if the two sets of local mappers created
east and west areas that encompassed the whole city.

Some feedback from local mappers regarding way's vs node's for the E/W parts
of the city would be helpful here.
