Oh, no sorry, I did not mean that. A road can be made of several
lines, but I am only talking about lines that are part of a road.

isConnection() ? doesn't quite fit with house numbers, but that is
rare and we don't even use it yet.

Ah OK, non-routable lines should not be used when determining if
something is a CoordNode or not. So sounds like a bug.
