I suspect that the problem is that people think they can play a bit,
then get a "Do you wish to save your changes?", and be able to press no.
~ So I guess Potlatch may need a splash screen that makes it's "all
changes are saved straight away" philosophy clearer to new users.

Personally I think the play mode is very confusing. Now that we have
http://main.dev.openstreetmap.org/, it's arguably not necessary. We
should just direct new people to have a play there.
