Yes, ok then, 4D. And yes, in the short-term I guess the editor could download data from *all time* - but *eventually* the API will need to support this kind of bounding box including a time limit, because the length of the time dimension will grow to infinity into the future. I won't want to be fetching infinity KB of data. _______________________________________________ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
