Hey Andy,<div><br></div><div>I just checked out the area on your user history page and it looks like it's mostly you and elyk editing there (mostly you, it's possible a county/state boundary was turned into a relation). This following would be my solution as XAPI doesn't seem to be using recent data.<div>
<br></div><div>In JOSM make sure you have the waydownloader plugin. Download a small area containing only one of your boundaries of interest. If it is part of a relation go to the relation manager and select download all members. otherwise just go to the end of that way and do a "download way" in the tools menu. Continue doing this with until you have all of your ways/nodes of interest. change and upload.</div>
<div><br></div><div>You don't want to upload over previous data as you'll be duplicating nodes and ways which is a real mess. You can also download your changeset xml (from your edit history) and modify those files to do what you want (say delete or modify nodes).</div>
<div><br></div><div>Once XAPI is consistently up and running it would be the appropriate way to do this sort of thing.<br><div><br></div><div><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Wed, Jul 8, 2009 at 12:34 PM, Andrew Ayre <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:andy@britishideas.com">andy@britishideas.com</a>></span> wrote:<br>

When I go to the live slippy map and look at the piece that was deleted<br>
I see someone added a boundary relation. So the piece is still there,<br>
but JOSM wants to remove it. Totally confused......<br>
