I note that in certain situations the previous history of an element is lost.
For example, I split a way in order to add different maximum speeds. Now I
become the originator of those split ways and what previous history that
existed is lost. I understand that I have, in essence, created new ways by
splitting, yet all other attributes and history of the original way are
unaffected. Is it not possible to identify that such new ways are not wholly
new data (even though the Versions are given as 1) so that users are properly
informed? Even better would be that the previous history is archived for
reference in some way.
