You convinced me to use augmented diffs with your irresistible argumentation :-). Although the very nature of experiments (including mine) is such that they are possibly transient. Is there any XML Schema (xsd) of the augmented diffs - or is the code [2] the documentation [1] ;-) ? :Stefan [1] http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Overpass_API/Augmented_Diffs [2] https://github.com/drolbr/Overpass-API/ 2016-09-16 1:30 GMT+02:00 Frederik Ramm <frede...@remote.org>: > Hi, > > On 09/15/2016 10:53 PM, Stefan Keller wrote: >> AFAIK augmented diffs are rather an experimental feature and I'd like >> to avoid the latency time and blackouts of overpass which runs in same >> server.
