This would need people in charge of granting rights to other people. Which I don't think is part of the spirit of OSM at the moment. (That's part of the unwanted part.) Plus it still wouldn't prevent me from using the "delete and recreate" method if I wasn't granted those rights. (That's the futile part.) -- m.v.g., Cartinus _______________________________________________ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/talk
