- Streets and polygons definitely get my vote.

- Change the newsegment API so that the segment IDs are returned on
separate lines, as is the case for newnode at the moment.

- For osmeditor's purposes, it might be good to put that 'batch upload'
script (forget the name) that I put in SVN a while back, the one where you
can PUT multiple nodes and segments to the server at once. T

- Change the "upload GPX" interface so that it is a PUT call, just like
'node', 'newnode', 'segment', 'newsegment' etc. In other words, allow GPX
to be uploaded through the API direct.
'Multipart/form-data' HTTP requests (input type='file' on forms) are
significantly harder to implement in clients than PUT requests.
