Hi Andy, Thank you for bringing this up. Although I am not connected with Project NOAH, there are a few members of Project NOAH on this mailing list but I am not sure if they have already read this email so I'm pinging them on other channels. Right now, I am assuming that the user is only experimenting with some features of JOSM.
