Yes and who was responsible for writing such things, perhaps they
injected their own bias/agenda as a result?

As for the name, that goes well beyond the current thread and I'm not
going to go there.

For some time now people have been using JOSM, either privately with
xml files, or with their own private server, eg the African efforts
due to poor bandwidth.
