I'm not referring to OHM; I'm referring to the main OSM map. At least
since September 2012, OSM has the complete back history, and, as far as
I can see, you can use overpass API to retrieve the map as of any date
and time since then.
BUT you can't upgrade the data in that history, only access previous
data without any reference to if it is correct or not. OHM is not a
solution to add the missing history, or correcting that history which
was removed because of mistakes. It is simply a record of what was done
with all it's mistakes ...
What is needed is a means of adding LAYERS of data which can be managed
either via third party data sets, or manual edited using existing tools
to add data that is missing from the narrow view confined to 'current'
objects ...
