I think that most likely the first tag a user sets will be one of the well known (observing new users I noticed that they used only the presets). If you are confident enough to invent a tag you will also not be surprised by an info message that tells you that JOSM doesn't know the tag. > Maybe we should have different sets of defaults.

I would implement this if I could ;-) cheers, Martin ___ josm-dev mailing list josm-dev@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/josm-dev

Turned it on ;-) Actually I think that displaying these info-level hints as Infos (and not as errors like before) would be also useful by default. I don't perceive it as "nannying the users". Info level has too many false positives to be useful as default and I don't think this will change in future. I don't want to encourage the users who want to have everything perfect and then destroy perfectly valid data not recogniced by validator. The validator should only be a help to find obvious errors and allows deeper inspection only when the user knows what he does.
