We map rivers as lines, then -add- water polygons to them. The same logic
should prevail when it comes to roads IMHO : the abstract road axis should
remain after someone maps the exact walkable area in detail. I'm cases
where the axis is missing, I'd say add it in.
To increase practical usability, I believe it is best to share a node where
the axis line enters and leaves the polygon.
