Certainly not. But you should have known that - I have read your recent 
tweets and you talk about using the iD editor in training people to 
contribute to OSM. There would not be any reason to use something as 
complex as a map editor if the point was only visual! If you train 
people how to map then you will tell them things like "be careful to 
properly link roads and not just place nodes near each other" - 
something that would be irrelevant if we were just painting a nice map.

Bye
Frederik
