Hi strk,

Really good to see all this progress!

I'm afraid the XML is out of my control - it's the Yahoo Flash API.  
As it happens I wouldn't spend too much time on supporting this - I'm  
told that Yahoo will be deprecating it soon and Potlatch will have to  
use the AS3 API, via NetConnection I guess (which I presume will mean  
that bit may not work in Gnash for now :( ).

Incidentally, on

this is expected (if wrong!) behaviour - the retry doesn't actually  
try to reload ways, just rewrite any outstanding ones. Basically  
osm.org fails on writes a lot more often than it fails on reads, so I  
haven't got round to doing the retry on read yet.

All the best
Richard
