Solution 1 looks perfectly good to me. Position, location, whatever. If a consensus ever emerges, it's trivial to normalise them. Solution 2 is inherently wrong, because there's no effective way to redefine anything. Users will do whatever they have always done, so merely reinterpreting their actions doesn't really change what their actions mean. Solution 3 (changesets), terrible idea. Editor support for changesets is really patchy. Potlatch starts and closes changesets fairly arbitrarily, and there is not (afaik) any way to tell what changes were included in a changeset, or modify changeset comments after the fact. Let alone the added complexity in having to query a changeset in order to find out metadata about an object. And how does this address the issue anyway...
