I'm kinda hooked on the appeal of only working with the changeset.  I

intuitively correct?


No.

The fact that changesets cannot be filtered by region is not a 
software limitation, it is a design limitation.


Changes can occur in nodes, ways, or relations; but only nodes have a 
geometry given in the .osc file. For example, an .osc file might 
contain the information "way #17 has been changed from 
highway=residential to highway=unclassified" but you won't know if 
that is relevant to you because the nodes of that way are not included 
in the changeset (unless by chance they have been modified at the same 
time).
While in fact you would know that (out of the fact, that the way already 
is in your database), the other way around it's a problem:
If a node changes it's location towards your area of interest, that has 
been outside before, every way connected to this node is of interest for 
you, but these ways are neither in your database (outside your area 
before) nor in the change stream (as the way object itself didn't change).


If you really want to pursue this further, read up on "augmented 
diffs" which are reference-complete and would therefore allow such 
filtering:

sorry for the late feedback, I was offline for some days.

FYI: if you need to contact somebody regarding these maps, you could (or 
maybe should) ask

This email for introducing the "uMap project".

TL;DR: http://umap.fluv.io/ (demo site).
the name umap is not very well chosen: there is already a project called 
uMap which exists since long time!

http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/User:Speedpilgrim

So it would be nice if you would change the name of your project.


Best regards,
Michael.
