+ # This is probably the most common call of all. It is used for getting the
+ # OSM data for a specified bounding box, usually for editing. First the
+ # bounding box (bbox) is checked to make sure that it is sane. All nodes
+ # are searched, then all the ways that reference those nodes are found.
+ # All Nodes that are referenced by those ways are fetched and added to the list
+ # of nodes.
+ # Then all the relations that reference the already found nodes and ways are
+ # fetched. All the nodes and ways that are referenced by those ways are then
+ # fetched. Finally all the xml is returned.
