xybot and its siblings have implemented a "bot=yes" tag in each 
changeset they create. http://www.openstreetmap.org/browse/changeset/4346988

this could be a way to add a checkbox on the history tab "don't show bot 
edits"

on the other hand... i think it was an error to add the history tab.
the itoworld osmmapper website and it's rss-feeds are a much better way 
to monitor malicous edits in a given area.
maybe this service could also be implemented on the openstreetmap.org 
website, as the ito osmmapper is frequently offline (as it is at the moment)
