To see changesets in a specific area, browse:

http://www.openstreetmap.org/history?bbox=MinLong,MinLat,MaxLong,MaxLat

Note that it includes a lot of "noise" generated by bots that define huge 
areas for their changesets. You'd have to download the individual 
changesets, then walk through them and get the min/max lat/lon to find the 
"real" edited area. It would be nice if, on upload, the API would 
automatically do this and add a tag with that info.
