Vespucci, the Android editor for OpenStreetMap, uses the JOSM-compatible presets for tagging. Vespucci, however, has evolved to support far greater functionalities than those supported in JOSM. These functionalities include attributes like 'deprecated', which indicates a deprecated preset item, 'regions', and 'exclude_regions' for localisation, and 'value_type' to indicate the type of value, among many others. The project aims at adding these additional attributes to JOSM. Incorporating these attributes will provide a better user experience across the editors, improving the usability and functionality of JOSM.
