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

[Peter Wendorff]

Hi.

As far as I see it's entirely possible to add free tags (there's an
expand link/button that shows other tags).
But IMHO it's not enough, because that only shows tags that are not
included elsewhere in the presetted tag stuff.
The problem with this is, that for the presetted stuff it's (or at least
seems to be) impossible to get the raw tags out of it, preventing to
learn them (yes, novice mappers should not have to, but IMHO they should
be able to understand the raw tags).

So this tag list should IMHO show all tags, not only those not exposed
already by even more human readable UI translations.

regards
Peter
