validator false positive: "untagged ways" that are relation members

[tordanik]

Validator will show errors for untagged ways even if they serve a purpose as relation members.

This affects, for example, ...

• "perimeter" members of site relations
• "edge" and "outline" members of bridge relations
• "edge" and "outline" members of tunnel relations

Is this the same as #7694?

[tordanik]

If you choose to address the issue by not showing "untagged way" errors for ways with any relation memberships at all, that will solve both this issue and #7694. IMO, this would be justified because the tag check itself isn't limited to a list of known tags either, and because there are other warnings for relation-specific problems (e.g. unknown relation type).

But if you choose to just add additional relation types to a whitelist, then this is not a duplicate because the examples are for different relation types.

I'd prefer a whitelist as there is cases where an untagged way being part of a relation is an error (a bus line for example)

I think of a role whitelist such as outer, inner, perimeter, edge, outline. Do you see others ?

In 5352/josm:

fix #7874 - do not warn about "untagged ways" that are relation members with role "outer", "inner", "perimeter", "edge" or "outline"
