Yes, definitely. We could even make it so that the "main API" (the one 
where JOSM will write its changes to) can announce, in its capabilities 
response, which "read-only APIs" are available/recommended for reading 
data from. I assume that in the long run we'll see the admin team do a 
little bit of loadbalancing that way.

Bye
Frederik
