You will be able to add a bbox or bound-polygon task before pushing 
things into the database.

But without having special tasks to handle bonding boxes in regard to 
history dumps, you will get problems with nodes moving in- and out of 
your bounding box.

The plugin will, for the time being,  also not be able to handle change 
streams, so it will not be possible to keep the database updated.

This is still work in progress in its earliest stage, so please don't 
expect it solving any real problems.
