If there is just *one* single object near your way which isn't based on a
ccbysa node/way, then you could always argue IMHO that you've measured the
location of your way from this object (JOSM has a measurement tool with you
can use for distances and angles).
AFAIR this is not reliable or precise. AFAIR it is not suited to enter
precise data you measured on the ground.
I've done mapping for orienteering maps with this method and there are
still people who map like that. The error is probably in the same order
as with GPS (5-10m), especially for example in the woods or around high
buildings. Ask a good orienteerer how they use compass and counting
steps. If the distance isn't too far they will come very close to their aim.
Bye, Andreas
