PostGIS can be used as a backend for other GIS programs such as ArcGIS. So I think any potential troubles in this regard would have more to do with what sort of requirements JOSM makes of its data model than PostGIS limitations. Such an integration could bring some very neat features. Like being able to view the whole planet in JOSM with PostGIS on the backend with JOSM only requesting the data that it needed to display at any one time. With other operations such as search being (optionally) global. _______________________________________________ josm-dev mailing list josm-dev@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/josm-dev
