In fact, we are just in early discussions about importing the buildings. And some of us were unsure if such significant amount of data would be supported/accepted/desirable by OSM. Thus the question from Sylvain. Only 60% of the municipalities are vectorized today and we estimate the end of the process in 2010 or 2011. We already noticed that some contributors created them manually, using the josm plugin. We still have many points to clarify with the original data. For instance, many small constructions are present (old wells, technical cabinets (phone, gas, electrical, etc). And some are not defined consistently over the territory (e.g. swimming pools, sometimes as building, sometimes as water surface). That's why some of us believe that the import should be done only after a manual control on small imports (through josm). Some would prefer a mass import corrected later. And questions like existing buildings with valuable tags or the addresses will make the process not so easy as some believed.
