[Talk-us] Blame me for JOSM yellowness

[Dale Puch]

First I would like to say I think the highlighting is a good thing.
As such I do not see why anyone is upset with it.  But to make people
happy, perhaps making it an option that defaults to being turned on
would solve any issues people have.  While this is tiger specific at
the moment, I would thing that optionally applying similar tags to
other imports might be of benefit.  Especially if we could list and
edit the tags that were used to trigger the highlighting.

Alan, nice tips on the presets.  I had not known about searching for
modified items either.  Both will make future edits easier.

I don't think that JOSM should remove the reviewed tag automatically.
Too many times I have changed only part of something that I would not
claim as reviewed.  At most I would make it a checkbox on the upload
if there were reviewed tags.  That still leaves it up to the person
editing to only upload fully reviewed items when they check that.
Alan's method is probably a better solution, and just needs to be
publicized.
