New about JOSM "bug" - it is "silent" ban from OSM?

Апублікавана карыстальнікам liutas4x4 25 Жнівень 2011 на мове English

All, who contribute @ osm.org/user/liutas4x4/diary, remember about strange behavior of & message from JOSM I reported.

While absolutely nothing changed is Java, Chrome and JOSM, no one "update" or program was installed, everything goes OK - just fine downloading, updating and uploading.

So, it was a "silent ban", because of a bot-like activity from me: about 2000 nodes in few hours is not acceptable (it seems) by server rules.

So, a pro with handy tool (JOSM) can quickly go to "jail" without notice.
Thanks Lord, it was for a one week only.

It seems, JOSM is not "stabile"

From late midnight till now:

Communication with OSM server "http;//api.openstreetmap.org/api/0.6/" timed out. Please retry later.

I got it after series of "this is a program bug, report it!".
And it is not "timed out" - message appears instantly.

Cache cleared, changesets closed, JOSM version 4279.

Too bad to be good...

You answer me there or send me to SPECIFIC forum: more tags for highways needed

- illumination at night: there are some highways (motorways, primary roads, even local roads and mostly - streets), which has or has no illumination at dark time; sometimes there are some trunks with or without lights; like for me, it can be something like illumination=yes/no; of course, for motorways esp., it can have extension tag for illumination_sides=both/single; on a full scale it can use even illumination_scheme tag, like "1x20m, 2x50m" etc., but from list of ISO (or another, local) standard.
- there is some difficulties to mark a number of lane at an intersection zone in OSM: often you have dedicated lane for, say, left turn; while you have 2 lanes tagged, @ specific interchange or crossroad you may have a way to mark "addition lane for righ (or left, or both) turn";
- there are no crossroad and intersection tags, - really? may be they are, but they are hidden from newbies? if so, I really want to now "how", and... to have a way to mark major and secondary way in each non-regulated crossroad;
- on "restrictions" section only speed limits are shown, while there are many trunks with, for ex., overtaking forever prohibited, "no bicycles" and so on;
- last not least: some streets and highways have time-related restrictions (by time of a day or by day of the week); how to mark "restriction time"?

About Tags: need info about correct tagging rules in several languages

Example: there is a forest (BTW, for unknown reason it has a red cross icon in Potlatch). I need to enter an origin of the trees in it in English, Lithiania, Russian and Hebrew. Is it correct to generate a tags, named "natural:en", "natural:lt", "natural:ru" and "natural:he"?
