What on earth are you talking about? The question we were asked was
about using /api/0.6 instead of /api/0.6/{node,way,relation} and having
the server work out the object type by parsing the body.
You seem to be talking about why we should add an API version number
to the URL which is something we already do and have always done as
far as I know.
