I'm curious about what you mean here. Are you referring to replacing (in a simple example) two square closed ways that share a common edge, with three non-closed ways (two with three segments, and one with one) and two relations to represent the original two squares? If so, I've seen this done in various places, but I've never understood the point it. The two representations are identical in terms of the data, but the latter requires 2.5 times as many objects and is much more of a pain to work with in the editors. All to avoid having a common line segment between two areas -- which doesn't seem to be a particular problem to me. Are there some advantages that I'm missing?
