Re: [josm-dev] Plugin for Karlsruhe schema

which implies that the road itself is linear and does not

all of which applies to the road i used to be living
at a few years ago:

(and don't get me started on Berlin with its duplicate
street names, they are only unique per town district there,
or the small towns or old town centers where houses are numbered
by size or order of construction or by the order in which they
signed fire insurance contracts ...)

Not saying that such a plugin doesn't make sense for certain
areas in the world, but i haven't seen this by linear distance
scheme in any place but the USA yet, so its probably low priority
for the rest of the world, and definitely for all parts of Europe
i've been to ...

Re: [josm-dev] re-licensing status display in the user list

 It surprises me a bit that only the relicensing status of the
 last editor for a primitive is shown. Is it considered enough that a user
 who agreed to the CTs touched a primitive as the last editor, to have it
 relicensed (cleanly) to ODBL?

no, but:
educated guess
OSM XML data downloaded via the API usually only contains
the latest version of an object and so only the user name
of the last editor. Downloading the full history for every
object would substantially increase both the amount of
data to transfer and the OSM server load, so JOSM only
shows the information it has at hand which is the last
editor ...?
