I tried to download full history of a way The call to http://www.openstreetmap.org/api/0.6/way/34068057/full will fetch the current way with all its nodes (so I can open it in JOSM for example and look at it)
The call to http://www.openstreetmap.org/api/0.6/way/34068057/history shows history of the way, but does not provide any nodes. So currently, if I want to know "how was the way drawn in time T", I had to get history of the way, then find out which nodes were used by the way in time T, then get history from each of the nodes and pick appropriate node from the history, given the time. Then combine this into output XML which I can view Is there some automated tool that will do that? Perhaps this could be improved in 0.7, by having some "[way|relation]/#id/history-full" call, which will return history of referenced way (or relation), including history of all node (ways) that was referenced at least in one of the historic or current versions. Sort of combination of /history and /full While you will still need some tool to extract the information you want, you'll need only one request to the server instead of one request per each node in the way you want to examine.
