There is no capability exchange between client and server, so you can't know if the client is order-aware. Or would you propose that any client using API 0.6 is order-aware at the moment of the official migration to 0.6? Next to the mainstream editors, you'd also still have the issue of broken clients, scripts, bots. -- Lennard _______________________________________________ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
