19465	"Make ""Overlapping ways"" less aggressive"	mkoniecz	GerdP	"==== What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Map area
2. Map second area partially sharing the way with the first area (two or three shared nodes)
3. Run validator

==== What is the expected result?
No complaints as shared segment is short

==== What happens instead?
""Overlapping ways"" is raised

==== Please provide any additional information below. Attach a screenshot if possible.
Multipolygons make sense in case of long shared segments, but in case of minor overlaps creating multipolygons is not helpful - it takes plenty of time to convert into multipolygons, split ways, delete shared segments, in areas where segments were deleted add new ones...

And after all that work are becomes more complicated to edit (especially in less powerful editors) - or at best remains as editable as before.
