Hi Ed, Actually there was a University competition in Padang around tracing buildings back in July. I don't suspect the students are going to continue digitizing at the moment. You could always look and see how recently the buildings were added. If it was in the past couple weeks then it might make sense to hold off.
I think that highway=residential is okay. I've been to Padang and that is what I would classify that as.
