[OSM-talk] xybot edit area size

[Martin Fossdal Guttesen]

The best way to get rid of bot changes is to ensure that as fews as possible 
errors get into osm
no errors = no need to correct
some of the corrections made by xybot are possible to avoid by making the 
editors a little smarter
foreksample "Removing surrounding whitespace and empty tags"
i checked one node and it was a trailing whitespace made in Potlatch 1.3e

it should be a nobrainer to automaticly remove surrounding whitespace in 
potlatch when a user enters one
