Not that I'm aware of. There's still a couple of features that don't
have p2 equivalents (the undelete has no equivalent in any editor,
since it's not possible via the XML API), so p1 is still available but
it hasn't had any development for quite some time now.

That's very interesting. I suspected we had a problem with undo, but I
hadn't seen steps to reproduce written down nice and clearly. I also
suspect there are multiple other ways to create both one-node was and
dupe-consecutive-node ways, but it still needs time (and developers)
to hunt them down and fix them.

I'm leaving that particular piece of satisfaction to RichardF whenever
he feels like doing so!

Cheers,
