I'll hit the library (ie. google) ;-)

My current bounding box task modifies ways that extend past the box to 
only include nodes and segments that are fully contained within the 
box.  It's probably not ideal but the simplest approach in a streaming 
filter.  For what you're looking for that should be okay.

Okay.  I'll try to get the user name and add it to the various tasks 
already existing.  I'll make sure I check the public edit flag before 
reading it from the database.  Hopefully this doesn't slow down queries 
too much more :-)
