Hi all, can someone please fix this up: http://www.openstreetmap.org/browse/way/28575357 it's a deleted way which is still belonging to two relationsThe theory on how it happened is this: We were fixing up a relation with two people at the same time in Potlatch, and when moyogo deleted a way,I edited the relation myself and uploaded the new version with that deleted way still included. So, we now end up with this.
It is a limitation of the 0.5 API.This problem is highly less likely to happen with 0.6 API, with the introduction of node/way/relation versioning and transactions.
This reminds me of my comment here: http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Talk:OSM_Protocol_Version_0.6#Downloading_properties_of_relations_without_members Why isn't it possible for the API to have functions like "add way X to relation Y", or "remove X from relation Y"? This method where you justupload entire new versions of the full relation with all its members isjust asking for troubles like the one that happened here.
This would mean that we no longer have a restful api. Shaun
