I think a hint like JOSM presents you when you try to upload an untagged
way or node (that aren't part of a relation either) should be sufficient. I
wouldn't reject those ways by the api. There might also be some sense in
this, e.g. when working on big things a mapper might want to upload part of
his work before it is finished, to continue work on it later.

Cheers,
Martin
