That works for osm.org but not on a third-party Potlatch deployment, where
it would require the user to authenticate with OSM on opening Potlatch
rather than on first save - not so friendly.

I tend to take the position that people who are worried about privacy to
the extent of blocking all cookies are natural JOSM users. ;)
