Something like this?

Click on a way, you get the ID and all the attributes on the right hand
side. You can then click 'edit', which takes you to
http://crschmidt.net/osm/attributes.html?type=way&id=8615004 , where you
can edit the attributes (and you'll be posting your data from the
browser to what is the OSM API directly -- the password/username is just
using the API's basic auth), and save them.

Then you can view the history of the way:

http://crschmidt.net/osm/history.html?type=way&id=8615004

This all works directly against the API, and should work in FF1.5+,
IE6+, Opera 8+, and Safari 3+.
