But... isn't there a danger that the mapper will load this
simplified/reduced object in JOSM (etc), change the tags, then press
upload? And then upload the simplified/reduced geometry? Which will
make
the OSM data worse?
there would have to be precautions, the editors supporting reduced
data download would have to take care that only unreduced data can be
edited and uploaded. Maybe the API-server restituting different ids
for reduced data could help here as well, so even if the data consumer
/ editor doesn't implement a special rule and someone tried to upload
simplefied data it would not overwrite the un-simplified OSM elements
or could be rejected.
There can be a need to make the features which are edited to match with
other existing features. If those other features are reduced ones the
result may not be what was expected. It may be hard to make this system
reliable.
