Deleted items shown in red will now have a little trash can icon 
(illustration: http://www.remote.org/frederik/tmp/osmitrash.png). If you 
click that, then the item will be removed from the database.

This is intended for situations in which you either see that the item 
has been re-mapped already (and therefore it makes no sense to flag it 
on the map), or where you think that whatever is highlighted there is 
completely unimportant.

The item should vanish from the map as soon as it is next redrawn (i.e. 
because you pan or zoom).

I recognize that this is perhaps not useful for areas with thousands of 
red objects, but maybe it is a good tool for people who want to 
systematically clean up their area.

Bye
Frederik
