<BR><BR>Specifically re unordered segments, I've noticed some problems with

that out, there is a bug there somewhere...<BR><BR>While I'm writing, I've got
to say... JOSM, osmarender, Maplint, maplint's integration into T@H, T@H, the
mappaint JOSM plugin, the validator JOSM plugin, the utils JOSM plugin,
openlayers, and all the back end stuff that power the whole project are all
great... yep, some bits have problems & some bits lack polish, some bits
might not be needed if other bits were better etc... but... they're still all
great and I'd like to give a big thanks to all the people who've spent large
amounts of their own personal time to put these tools together... If I've
missed any out, it's not because I think they aren't great, but, these are the
tools that I have used most and find invaluable...

<DIV>+1 from me as regards the thanks </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>As regards the longer ways, if these were not downloaded "all in one go by
JOSM" because they went outside the original bounding box, then save the JOSM
data, delete the layer and then reload the data and then reorder teh long
way. You might find that works.</DIV>
