Exactly my point. We want participation, at least that is my take on the gist of the OSM mission. The more passive users we can turn into active contributors, the better. The flagging/note system discussed here can play a key role in achieving this. As is being shown, implementation of the

You have to think outside the OSM box here. This proposal will make it extremely easy for non-OSM'ers (non-mappers that is) to signal: Look, there's something wrong. They maybe able to provide the solution, maybe not. The point is: there is no need to understand mapping, tags, editors etc.
