<p>I assume everybody saw my talk yesterday :-).</p>
<p>Seriously, even if you don't expose geometry to the end user your
editor needs to be geometry-aware (that means have at least
internal access to all variants of how the object of interest can
be modeled in OSM) and make the user aware of the presence of
nearby objects.</p>
<p>As I pointed out in the talk, building a simple editor is hard.
So hard that we've not managed to actually develop one on any
platform to date. And there are number of things in OSM that
actually work against that (freeform tagging, complicated tagging
schemes, different interpretation of the schemes in the preset
systems and so on).</p>
