[OSM-dev] Add an iD link to the Potlatch no-Flash screen

[kimaidou]

Hi all

I am following this discussion about ID. I think I won't use ID but keep
Potlach as long as ID does not integrate an "advanced" view for "power"
users. I use Potlach a lot to do some quick additions, and I always use
preselections then switch to the advanced tab to control which tags/values
are used and to add some specific tags.

I have probably missed the same feature in ID ?
