[OSM-talk] Web Based Yahoo! Maps/OpenLayers Editor

Hi,

Thought I had put "framm" but maybe mixed something up.

Aren't "others" simply those who used another name? Oh I see, the name 
is not really a session attribute but could theoretically be different 
for every object I send, right? But if the whole thing were to go live 
with a built-in upload-to-OSM-server capability, then you'd have to add 
a session management, checking OSM username/password against the OSM 
server anyway, and that would then set the "Your Name Here" bit to the 
username, and then you'd know who the "others" were.

Ah, that's why they don't use it on their own pages ;-)

You are right, it isn't required. I was under the impression that it 
was, because JOSM does insert these, but it also works without.

Bye
