Nice project!
Dave: It would be good to show the problem visually. If there's no visible
change to the track at normalish zoom levels, then I see nothing wrong with 83%
of nodes being zapped on the first click.

It’s great to have such things mapped, but it does need care.
In this field Jochen Topf coded “Multilingual Map Test” together back in 2012.
You might ask him to add Finnish to the languages offered.

Indeed this is surely the right approach. Many people use OSM inside products
where the map data is updated rarely: all the offline map apps for mobile come
to mind. Temporary states have no place in these apps, and it’s unfair on their
devs to force them to work out a long-term state to offer
Agreed. A few weeks ago I was collecting a parcel from the local delivery
office. The lady on reception overheard me on the phone explaining to my mother
that I was “in the post office”. When I hung up the lady, whom I’d noticed
frowning, issued a stern and proud (though smiling) correction:
Cool stuff!
A while back I sketched out some ideas for something quite similar. Its v1
would have been along these lines with transparent PNGs. But v2 would have sent
text labels as a JSON structure containing text plus xy or latlong positions,
for rendering on the client. This way you can

Stunning work, Andy. I've recently been pointing people to Sutton Coldfield as
an example of the standard to which we Bristolians should be aspiring.

Thanks for the comments, everybody. The reuse of the old node in the new way,
though not of supreme elegance, seems a very nice hack and I'll use it from now

I've been 'exploding' several building nodes into ways, based on splendid Bing
imagery for Bristol. I'm getting concerned about data loss, the fact that any
external database accumulating information on such vulnerable nodes, e.g. [1],
will only with difficulty and guesswork be able to match it

The wiki may be clear but that doesn't mean it's any good.
It would be good to have consistency in the start_date value. Taginfo reports
