[josm-dev] josm produces too long tags

[Alan Mintz]

Yes! I've been meaning to add that request to trac. It's really annoying 
when, halfway through a long upload, it barfs with this error, when the 
long tag shouldn't have been created in the first place.

I'd like to see it checked in the validator, but also trapped for when 
editing a value anywhere (Preset and Change Value? dialogs, tag editor, 
relation editor come to mind).

Also, for me, the problem generally happens when combining TIGER ways, when 
it combines the tiger:tlid tags. It should warn the user of this as it is 
happening, and truncate the result appropriately (or maybe add a 
tiger:tlid_cont tag if people feel this info is still necessary).
