Well, I don't really have much clue about OpenLayers (API) either, so 
much of my code is either "stolen" from others, or copy and pasted from 
examples. So any help is more than welcome.

You can now see at http://openstreetbugs.dev.openstreetmap.org/ the 
"drag and drop" solution that I came up with (and the other suggestions 
SteveC made).

I still need to fix the visual part of the drag and drop part.

Alternatively, if someone could look at the code and (after running away 
screaming about the improvised code) tell me how to do this correctly in 
OpenLayers, that would be even better.
