Description
If an unclosed way has a boundary tag, this should be a warning. Boundary tags should only be applied to closed ways or to type=boundary relations.
Additionally, if an unclosed way has an identical boundary tag to its parent relation (for example, both the unclosed way and the parent relation are tagged boundary=administrative), an auto-fix should remove the boundary tag from the child way.

That is curious. I actually wrote this from the perspective of https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:boundary%3Dprotected_area which is not documented in that way.



According to the wiki,
boundary=administrativeis valid for open ways and the tag duplication might be needed if a lowadmin_levelis an enclave belonging to different higher level.
