Some people wanted to limit ways/relations to 2k of nodes. If you do allow relations to have all these extra subrelations then what are you going to solve in the end? This is enforcing a clueless limit and not solving the fundamental problem why this limit is justified; and no that has nothing to do with data storage. As I mentioned earlier, there is no need for even the concept 'way'; since you can store a relation with tag highway=whatever. So fundamental issues: - the tables are too verbose (not normalised) - the tables imply limits that are not required from a database standpoint - the practical usage of limitations (only fetch what you can observe) is not exploited at all, while this is an issue for a renderer and a typical client that wants to use the data Anyway the resolve scenario sounds like Microsoft, "you cannot use character blablabla in your filename, because we say so".
