The cross-section tool provides the list of k=v pairs so a user can more simply update a way in iD. However, in practice, with iD this isn't very straightforward and the process is clunky-- you have to go back and forth between the main map.html, then the cross-section.html tool, then iD, and it's just annoying to do if you need to change many streets at once. One option could adding some sort of editing capability directly into the cross-section tool. osm-auth could be useful, but i'll need to learn about the OSM api system first.
