Merkaartor systematically overwrite the "created_by" when doing changes on the server (after having followed a similar thread). If this tag has any value, it is, IMHO, to be able to identify editors having strange/wrong behaviors needing to be addressed. AFAIK, there is no "standard" way for the server to know which editor is sending it data. It could, based upon the user-agent, but I don't think there something foreseen regarding this. - Chris -
