Hi, I already asked this on the Talk page for the API (http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Talk:API) but I don't know how many people will be reading that.
* I'd like to rename (move) Protocol to API on the Wiki: OSM_Protocol_Version_0.6 -> OSM_API_Version_0.6. API is the commonly used word and it had been decided earlier to move from "Protocol" to "API" on the Talk page so this would only be for consistency. * I'd also like to remove the OSM Protocol Stack Overview part and the HTTP Protocol Specification from http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/API. I believe they are more confusing than they are helpful. A description of the HTTP protocol is certainly unneccesary and the description might suggest to newcomers that OSM somehow uses a different HTTP implementation ("The desciption of the HTTP Protocol as used by OpenStreetmap"). If it was up to me I'd completely delete http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/HTTP_Protocol_Specification as it serves no current or historical purpose. But I think that would have to be done by an administrator. Any comments? Anyone opposed?
