Are you able to explain how to check easily with JOSM if part of the coastline is missing?
With reading about all the rendering problems with coastline not being a continuous polygon a relation seemed the best way. 2 other reasons for a coastline relation. 1) I was also planning to use the relations in for the maritime borders as the baseline as per my original email that no one commented on. 2) Consistent naming of coastline per state for boating with only the name needing to be in the relation. With creating the relations I decided to make a coastline relation per state to cut down on the amount needed to download for a specific state.

Error checking doesn't seem to me to be a good idea to use relations, JOSM has a validation checker that should be used for this kind of thing. > I also plan to add some coastline national parks that are split at the > coastline and plan to use the relations for checking my work. Add a relation if you have a valid reason to use one, like sharing a boundary between sections of land based national park and marine park, but using a relation for error checking seems wrong to me.
