Your editor will probably hace displayed a warning at step 1. At the
end of the operation, you've got a house missing it street, not a
fully broken relation.
That's nitpicking, I know. How about "breaking" addr:street addresses
to compare ?
* Same remove/replace/add steps with a typo when readding addr:street
("what ? but I picked the automcomplete suggestion !"). Actually, that
works without the remove/replace steps as well.
* Add a new addr:housenumber but forget/ignore to add addr:street
(would be no different with associatedStreet, except the local
newbie's work will have been prepared by the armchair veteran)
* Change the name of a street (btw, newbies often use iD and dont know
how to search objects by tag). Much more common than you think if you
consider street that have not been named yet or that have been split
at the wrong spot.
The point is not that associatedStreet relations are unbreakable, but
that there are less opportunities for breakage than there is with
addr:street.
