It is somehow a nice statement to see that you can actually get the data "back"/"out", but it doesn't work at all in this form, there really should be at least an additional link explaining a bit more and offering a list of services where you can actually get more and all data (i.e. planet.osm.org, geofabrik, metroextracts, coastlines, overpass, torrent, etc. (if those are fine with being mentioned prominently there)). Also it was said that our main API was for editing purposes only, how does that relate to an export function like this? cheers, Martin
