Description (last modified by )
Instead of requesting individual nodes/ways etc wouldn't it be better to just request a full request instead?
eg
http://www.openstreetmap.org/api/0.6/relation/xxxxxxxx/full

Why is it better?
That depends if you are download a few objects or a LOT of objects.
When you already have some of the members, this would produce more traffic.
Actually I'm downloading some big relations at present adding postcode areas and it would produce substantially less traffic and a lot less requests.
Additionally you can get conflicts for these "updated" members, which might be distracting.
You might also get conflicts if you make a change and then upload, it's going to be distracting no matter what, although instead of creating a conflict issue it might be better to prompt the user:
Your action has generated a conflict, do you want to cancel the download, use the information from the server or update the server with your current version?
The conflict resolution at present is horrible, so the confusing part isn't due to conflicts.
Btw. currently you can get a full request by right click on the relation in relation dialog and selecting download members. However I think this will change to download missing members soon.
It already has changed, I'm using the latest version and it no longer seems to have an option to download full.

It hasn't changed. See right click menu of the relation list.

You are right, so maybe we should keep this option. (And put it in the relation edit dialog, as well.)

Sorry, I was talking about the relation editor dialog.

This is what I thought you meant because it was an option in the relation edit dialog and now it's gone.

When "download members" is used the relation is download with the /full option. This doesn't load the complete relation because sub relations are not completed. This is intended, see #18835.
