Hi! I've just opened this ticket, in which I propose to include <parent /> tags to objects returned by OSM API which were requested individually (not with map call):

https://github.com/openstreetmap/openstreetmap-website/issues/768

The tag would allow editors to warn users when they delete or modify an object which is a part of other objects, not loaded in an editing session. Consequently, it would minimize number of failed preconditions, conflicts and broken relations.

I'm sure it won't be much trouble to add support for this tag to popular editors — I, of course, would do this for Level0.

Are there any reasons not to do this? Can anyone with Rails Port programming experience code this? Parent objects are already listed on osm.org's browse pages, so this shouldn't be too hard, or too heavy on the database.

IZ
