You are guessing the details are going to be the same if things get shifted, it won't help if the old node is deleted and a new one added with a spelling mistake, or at the very least require just as much intervention as fixing up missing UUIDs. In fact if a UUID is deleted you could use similar searches you point out above to suggest where the UUID should be shifted to, but leave it up to a person to make an informed decision about it. _______________________________________________ talk mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
