The idea itself is good, it could secure more consistent tagging and easier automatic processing of data.
In the proposal it says: "If you have one way making up the line string ring and it does not describe something in its own right, you may also put these tags on the relation and leave the relation untagged." - that does not really make sense to create such relation (one way tagged relation would make splitting the way easier). "The order of the relation members does not matter (but properly sorted member lists can help human editors to verify completeness)." - I believe it should be always sorted, yet routers/renderers should not rely on it. How would it be used in this situation?: border of two countries (A, B) is also border of lower administrative divisions (AC, AD in country A and BE,BF in country B). going along the border you go through different combinations (A-B all the way; AC-BE->AD-BE->AD-BF; see image). In reality there would be more than two levels and therefore much more combinations. How would it solve the case of river bifurcation if the river merges together (river island, the same river flows on both sides)? How would it solve similar case of streets (lanes for different directions split for some time and later merge together)?
