[HOT] Friendly reminder not to upload sample.osm during a mapping training

[Jaakko Helleranta]

I was about to say that the XML headers of the sample.osm file should of
course have upload=false ... but checking the file it (of course) has that
already.

This reminds me of a discussion from a while back where me another JOSM
user (& non-developer) were wondering if there could be a file format that
would not allow uploading but that would show data as it is for simply
viewing or locally tinkering with purposes.
Now thinking about this I wonder if it would be a huge thing to have a JOSM
header option upload=never that would make it impossible to upload the
file? This would solve this problem here and essentially force to change
the header manually into false or true before and upload could happen.

I would assume that such a tweak to JOSM code would not be huge and I could
file a ticket if at least someone else thinks it could make sense.

Just a thought,
-Jaakko
