After Exploring Greater Oxford a bit while adding the Food Hygiene Rating System IDs, I have come round to the potential usefulness of these lines.

To make a comparison to Westfield, London, their shopping centre looks a complete mess when editing on iD. Having a line showing where all the shops are on an individual level would certainly make sense both for human-readability & having straight lines of shops.

I didn't want to extract all the nodes, without moving their position, incase there were any hidden mechanics going on, or address interpolation in other parts of Oxford.
