The actual problem (last time I tried upgrading tags with iD) is that it doesn't tell you what it's going to change, it doesn't tell you what it has changed, it just changes tags (almost behind your back). The only way of knowing what it's done is to memorise the raw tags before upgrading and compare that with what you have after upgrading. So, unless you're paying very close attention you don't notice that iD has done something that might be sub-optimal. If iD showed you what it was going to do, people would notice it was going to change "Starbucks Coffee" to "Starbucks" and might wonder if that was the correct thing to do. Some would probably accept it anyway, assuming iD was right. Some would assume the original mapper got it wrong. Others would assume the original mapper got it right. So making iD show proposed changes wouldn't stop this kind of thing happening, but it might stop it happening as often. Hmmmm. I suppose iD could be made to take note of not:name and not "upgrade" the name to Starbucks if you had hot:name=Starbucks. I'd suggest it on github but I'm pretty sure I'm on their blacklist and anything I post there is ignored by their filters. -- Paul mapper
