Select some street parts, building outlines and nodes. Press the button to create a new relation and add them. Then add the properties to the relation. That really doesn't take longer than adding those properties directly to the elements themselves. Of course, I always have the relation overview window opened.
Adding the roles is an extra step, but it's not a great loss if you would omit them and I wouldn't be surprised if somebody would add a feature to JOSM which assigns those roles automatically. Thanks Martin for changing the spec!
