Hi,

Great work simon04 on this.

I have an RSS feed set up for my local city. By browsing my local data, I noticed [https://github.com/emacsen/tiger-expansion](this bot) made edits in my bbox in this changeset [http://www.openstreetmap.org/browse/changeset/15792154] and they weren't included in my RSS Feed.

example of an edit made within this bbox - http://www.openstreetmap.org/browse/way/11792681/history

Thanks for your feedback.

This is a known issue which originates from the use of the minutely diffs without keeping a local database .Since the above changeset only contains ways (+ way node ids), no coordinates are present in the diff.

To come around, one might want to use augmented diffs http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Overpass_API/Augmented_Diffs. However, it is not clear which bounding box to assign to a modified way. Think of a modification of tags of a very long power line …

In theory, what would be the most efficient way to do this without using Overpass and without using a local database?
