[OSM-dev] Editing outside of bounding box

[Dominik Spies]

Hi,

It seems to be that editing data outside of a bounding box generates a
warning in JOSM. (This is not a JOSM question!)

At first, it seems to be obvious: delete a way with all its nodes,
where some nodes could be part of way thats not loaded into the
editor.
Okay, but where exactly is the problem? The editor will try to delete
the node, will recieve a 412 Error and recognize "hey i can't delete
that node because..." and it is all fine.

Do I miss something important?

Regards,

Dominik
