⚡⚡⚡ OSM API v1.0⁴: New data model, validation, OSM Premium and more

When i got rickrolled, I figured this diary entry was written for April Fool’s Day. However, some ideas are not stupid, especially pre-moderation. It is a good concept, but I think queueing new users’ edits would overwhelm the reviewers. Instead, we should keep the status quo (optional review requests and rate limits), but we could apply the idea for blocked users’ contributions. Despite being unreliable, they would be useful. Firstly, they could relieve other contributors from entering data, notably in areas where few editors are present. Secondly, pre-moderated edits might be a penance for blocked ones. Rate limits might apply, of course (I thought of 100 elements per day).
