[OSM-dev] ID presets problem

I don’t have any helpful tips other than to just use the debugging features already built into your browser.  I mostly just use Chrome Dev tools to step through and debug the iD code.  (If you are more familiar with Firefox, Safari, Edge, their dev tools are fine too).

There are some discussions on:
https://github.com/openstreetmap/iD/issues/1575 <https://github.com/openstreetmap/iD/issues/1575>
https://github.com/openstreetmap/iD/issues/659 <https://github.com/openstreetmap/iD/issues/659>

Somebody made:
https://github.com/openstreetmap/iD/pull/3140 <https://github.com/openstreetmap/iD/pull/3140>
which I probably would have just accepted if it didn’t conflict with the existing "selected" style.
(whatever we do needs to look and feel different than how it looks when the user selects things)

It’s pretty much driven by whatever people want to edit/show here, as long as we can make it easy for an untrained user to figure out.

It was requested here:
https://github.com/openstreetmap/iD/issues/3057 <https://github.com/openstreetmap/iD/issues/3057>
The requesting user mentioned the `network` values and it seems fine. I don’t dig too much into requests like this - if it’s a reasonable request, we’d probably just add it.


Thanks Bryan
