[talk-au] Validator in JOSM - extra picky?

[Gordon Smith]

OK, so I admit that I might hide under a rock now and again and not
know the latest and greatest gossip about every plugin that JOSM might
use; hence this (perhaps tirvial) question.

Once upon a time the Validator plugin for JOSM would let me know when
I'd made silly typos, or hadn't tagged something appropriately, or had
crossing ways, etc.   And all was well in the world of maping.

Now, when I use the current version of Validator, in conjunction with
josm-latest, I'm told that pretty much every tag I've ever used in the
past doesn't exist in the presets.  It doesn't like the "name" key
(even when the preset lets me type a name in), it doesn't like
source=survey, it doesn't like "type" in relations, ..., and on and
on.  It's got to the point where I can't see the real errors because
of the volume of warnings that now appear.

Neither the wiki nor Google have helped me track down why these
informational errors are now being spat back at me.

So, dear list members, what pronouncement have I missed?  What has
been updated or changed that I don't yet know about?

Cheers,

Gordon
