What are the implications of having short arcs?  Routing unable to
follow the way across the short arc?  What if there is an improvised
short wooden bridge on a forest path that crosses a very narrow waterway?

Could you please use . as the decimal separator in the error message?
I am getting messages that look like this:

SEVERE (RoadNetwork):   http://www.openstreetmap.org/?lat=65,01078&lon=25,48210&zoom=17

In LANG=fi_FI (and in many other European languages, including German,
for that matter), the decimal separator is , and the thousands separator
is . or a space.  JOSM will ignore the URL until I manually replace the
commas with dots.

Best regards,
