One of the bigger changes in the 0.6 API from an implementation perspective for clients may well be the use of a content body on DELETE requests. kleptog found that to be the most difficult part of implementing the changeset/versioning support for JOSM, I think, and I think that a number of libraries may make this more difficult than one would first assume, since DELETE+body is rather unusual.
There are two different ways to implement an alternative without requiring changes to other code, neither of which would be particularly difficult to implement, I don't think: * Use ?query=string&args=forinfo * Use Version:/Changeset: headers. Either of these will probably work in a wider variety of HTTP clients, some of which explicitly don't support including data in a DELETE 'natively'. What HTTP libraries are people using to talk to OSM? Do they easily support DELETE with content body?
