Hi all,

thanks for comments. Makes me think about validation. Is there a validator
that can be used to compare the accepted schemes to what the actual tagging
is? For example, is it possible to validate against manually constructed
schemes in JOSM? Is it possible to view osmose errors on certain objects
only?

Thanks!
