The readme tag is more of a bandaid. A better way might be to capture the image date as a tag. The editor could then issue a warning message if the image date is older than the feature being modified. Not sure how this would work when different zoom levels have different dates. For example, if I see a road at zoom 14, but not at 19, I might use a little of both zoom levels to draw the feature. In any event, we need a way to warn the editor. -- @osm_seattle osm_seattle.snowandsnow.us OpenStreetMap: Maps with a human touch
