Some good suggestions, thanks!

Ha, I'm never sure what to do with this one.
Tab is standard for people who are used to *nix shells.
On Windows and OS X, IME, tab jumps from field to field. Enter/Return
selects from an auto-complete menu (e.g. Safari, Excel). (The
behaviour of tab in auto-complete apps is inconsistent, on OS X at
least.) Potlatch is following Windows/OS X behaviour rather than *nix
shell behaviour.
It's important that there's a keypress for "move to next field without
auto-complete", so that you can type "high=very" as well as
"highway=primary". (I will for the moment ignore those who feel there
should be RULES to PREVENT non-standard tags being USED.) As to
whether this is Tab or Enter, I'm not greatly fussed, but it seems
more logical to me that Enter should stick with its general sense of
"accept choice".

Potlatch will accept any tile source in the standard spherical
Mercator ("like-Google"/"900913") projection/tile system used by OSM
and a zillion others. I don't know of anyone offering standard-issue
NASA Landsat in such a form (and who'd be willing to let us leach
their bandwidth), but let me know if you do!
