The first comment is It looks reasonable to me but I'm not the technical authority on this one. Pierre might be better.
Second comment is we can invoke a special preset with iD when opened by Task Manager. Realistically the mappers we want to nudge most are those who only map once and have very little interest in instructions or web pages. You can tell I'm feeling cynical today. We might do better to come up with a preset for iD that is better suited for new mappers. ie drop living_street and footway as options for Africa.
