True. I think "attic" in this case would refer to a place where you
store old things, so it relates to old data.

Hi
So often I'm put off from delving further into OSM & its uses by
the
confusing nature of it's wiki pages.
A simple example:
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Overpass_API/Overpass_QL#Attic_data_.28.22date.22.29
Why is it headed as 'Attic Data'? Why is there no explanation of
it's
meaning? After too much time using google I find it means old
information.
Why not say that? Wouldn't 'historical snapshot' be a bit clearer?
Please remember wiki/help pages are mainly read by inexperienced
users who
aren't fully aware of all the latest hip language (that often goes
out of
fashion 6 months later).
Please keep all wiki pages plain & simple.
Cheers
Dave F
