Indeed. While not relevant for the kind of processing I had in mind 
(colouring existing objects) that should be fixed to avoid 
misunderstandings.

Yes, that is maybe an unfortunate choice of wording on my part.

Our *default* assumption is that any edit by a non-agreer makes an 
object problematic.

If an agreer makes a harmless change, or if a non-agreer makes a 
significant change, then that doesn't change anything compared to our 
default assumption.

If, on the other hand, a non-agreer's change is found to be harmless, 
then *that* is a relevant change in so far as it might actually change 
the colour of an object on the map (from orange to not shown or whatever).

Bye
Frederik
