[Openstreetmap] Problem with tags in server

[SteveC]

You're going to have to explain more... What the code does exactly and
so on.

The node (276025) was created, then updated with a tag, then deleted a
couple of hourse later. Similarly with the other node.

Two things might help: Tags arn't persistent. If you update a node, you
need to submit its tags too, otherwise it assumes you want to delete the
tags. Also, add a semi-colon on the end of your tag(s). eg: 'name=foo;'
not 'name=foo'
