I think the key here is to have more diversity and not insist on every 
functionality that could be desirable to be present on 
openstreetmap.org.  Certainly this would seem convenient but it 
ultimately will never be possible and it would be extremely hard to 
maintain.

I for example really miss a coordinate display for the mouse position 
but there are plenty of other map interfaces that offer this so no big 
deal.

When closing the discussion Tom clearly stated what kind of solution he 
considers acceptable:

Everyone is entitled to disagree with that but you'd also have to ask 
yourself why the outlined solution is not acceptable for you.
