The point I was trying to make was that, in OSM, our map consists of  
more than that which you can see. So any true "WYSIWYG" approach  
would fail to deliver, because it would only give you that which you  
can see. (It means, after all, "What you see is what you get" - and  
in the OSM context you'd probably have to prepend an "only".)

Bye
Frederik
