That would make editing much slower. But with API 0.6 this will be fixed
because Potlatch's update attempt will fail in this case (it still has
an old version number).

JOSM will do the same thing - change the way in Potlatch, then change it
in JOSM and upload, and you have overwritten your change... again, this
will not be the case anymore with 0.6.
