Comparison and merge tools of different OSM data sets is going to be very useful beyond just TIGER. We're importing more and more external data sets (UN, Canada), and want an easy way to take advantage of updates. Offline/low bandwidth modes of OSM are going to be necessary to map in remote areas & humanitarian relief operations, and will require an merge tool set as well. Diff of wiki text is relatively easy. What sorts of ideas do we have for representing diffs of mapping data? Any ideas on feasibility of a JOSM plugin?
