Also the id or the name of the way should printed out. I invstigated a 
node, where 4 ways are conected to the erroneous node. I had no 
information which one was the defect way.

I'm using josm for editing osm data and I would find it very usefull if 
the validator plugin would test the streets for this error. Any idea 
where to post this demand?
