If someone points out a problem, surely it's better for the
developer to think about whether they have a point, about whether your
software should act this way, rather than just saying "But JOSM does it!".

Do *you* think removing layer=0 is a good idea? What is the objection to
removing it?

Just because someone else does a bad thing doesn't mean you have to copy
them. Is your tool merely "JOSM validator, but with SPARQL and on the web"?

JB, the "layer=0 removal" is one of the JOSM validations - it automatically gets suggested to anyone editing an area with that object, with the "fix" button autofixing it.  JOSM doesn't have a "mark this autofix as invalid" button, which means that even if you don't autofix it, the next person reviewing the same area may. This sounds identical to the issue raised by Simon above: > ...you don't actually "confirm" that something is a good edit or not. You only have the choice of making an edit or leaving it to others to do. ... This makes the whole thing entirely equivalent to a mechanical edit.

So we should either A) remove it from JOSM, or B) define when it should be kept vs deleted, because otherwise we are not being consistent with requirements.

    Please don't. Once again, mapping is done by humans, and layer=0 IS
    sometimes useful to humans, even if computers don't need it.
