Yes, Paul. The simplified object's geometry can't be edited but we can tell which object is simplified and which is not. in a client-side map, some objects are simplified and some are not. The un-simplified object can be edit.
Let's imagine a use scenario: 1. Initially, User opens JOSM/Potlatch to browse an overview map. currently the data are shown in slippy maps which are rendered from data to an imagery in advance at a rendering server. With rtosm, the overview map can be a collection of simplified objects to be rendered in client window. With this data, user can edit non-geometric part of the object, such as tags and relation members. 2. when user zooms in, the map data retrieved from database are more detailed. some object in previous view-window will become from simplified to un-simplified. When an object is uneditable, user need to zoom in more times to get its original node list. rtosm aims to speedup data editing by offer user the ability to view object(simplified or un-simplifed) at any scale with the constraint that not all objects are editable, unless you zoom in enough to limit the number of objects in the view. Bad news is: The data editor such as JOSM/Potlatch need to change to adapt the rtosm served data.
