In that case the entire API should be scrapped. After all, I can
easily make some small program that uploads random changes to random
nodes and ways, and mess up a lot. And once I've written that program,
I can run it again and again, even large scale on a network of zombie
computers. With the API there is already a way for people to mess up
the data. What we need is a way to easily clean up such a mess.

Cheers,
