8	8	Because there are hundreds of mappers publishing their geo-data on the OSM server it is important to track who published what data in which context. It would be tedious for mappers to describe for every single node and every single way why it is published. A more convenient approach is to package a group of related objects and assign the package a comment, not the individual objects. This way, if a mapper maps his or her neighborhood, he or she can upload a package of nodes and ways and assign it a comment "`mapped and reviewed some ways in foo city`".
