I am against implementing any controlling measures beyond "is the 
username/password valid" at this point.

But I'm utterly, totally, completely against any kind of half-hearted 
measures that work only against those who cannot compile their own 
version of an editor! Next thing you'll say is that the JOSM .jar file 
has to be signed and only the "official" signed version may connect, and 
before you know it you have a situation where Central Command dictates 
what software people may use. No thanks!

Bye
Frederik
