Is this my problem, or is was signature wrong?

There are some problems in the whole classification. Some types are twice 
with minimal difference in usage, which nobody will really understand and 
also the wiki and the usage in josm aren't equal. OSM will have to go some 
way to

a) have a standard set of commonly aggreed tags
b) have an automatic conversion of the old stuff and common mistakes

I expect a lot of changes in this area, so I do not even try to reach best 
results at the moment :-)

Inbetween I will continue to fix bugs and improve JOSM. And BTW also 
continue mapping the Oberlausitz and northern part of Czech republic.

Next large topic maybe History support in JOSM. I'm not sure yet if I know 
how to do that. Goes a bit deeper than the stuff I did till now.

BTW: Anybody noticed the changes I did to the verbosity of the validator. 
Comments for this?
