+1.

Potlatch, 1 or 2, has always been a 90-10 editor. Make the 90% of mapping
easy, and the 10% possible. And of course the 'advanced' view makes anything
possible.

We have the luxury that JOSM exists for those who want to do the hardcore
10%, 5%, often even 0.1%. But we also have the responsibility that, as the
default and OSM-hosted editor, Potlatch needs to be approachable and
understandable.

I'm also a little aware (having optimised the CategorySelector stuff
yesterday) that the tagging code is way complicated as it is and probably
doesn't need any more edge cases lest my head explode. ;)

cheers
Richard
