[talk-au] JOSM filtering image/map tile URLs

[Ben Last]

Not that I'm getting involved in this... but if there is to be a
multiplicity of servers, why not have the server provide a REST call* that
can be used by PL/JOSM (or anything else) to establish which tracing sources
are permitted for that server and which aren't?  That way, the tools don't
need to cater for specific needs, they become more generall.

* Just returning a static file of filters, or the like, to make
implementation simple.
