The history tab is greyed out on lower ZL's - why is that? Are there concerns with the expense of the queries powering lower ZL's?
Basically, yes.
If I make up random low-ZL bounding boxes in high-contrib areas I'm still getting snappy responses: http://www.openstreetmap.org/browse/changesets?bbox=0.98%2C47.19%2C21.87%2C54.58
That's a bug really - there should be some checks in there to prevent abuse like that.
There's nothing very scientific about the limit AFAIK it was just a rough limit based on a usability vs not letting people force scans of the entire changeset table kind of thing.
It's not like such a view is very useful, then again the global changeset list is pretty much useless anyway due to the amount of global noise from all the bots and semi-automated bulk edits.
