I have made a start on an AJAX interface (see 
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/index.php/osmajax for brief details) but I'm 
holding fire on it for the moment as it could well be that Richard 
Fairhurst's Flash-based (but generated via open source tools) Potlatch editor 
(see http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/index.php/Potlatch) delivers on this 
particular front. If people see the need for an AJAX based interface *as 
well* please let me know but in the meantime I'm waiting for the initial 
release of Potlatch.
