Right, that's surprising, it's a pretty handy thing. I was about to ask how you know the editor in the history, but the penny's dropped that you actually use a tag to record it. I guess that's a legacy of editors existing outside of the API. I think for a RESTful API you should look to use HTTP features as much as possible. Sorry, going off-topic.
