feel a need to tag things like this, I have no objection, but I do
think it's getting to the edge of what really belongs on the OSM
database.
it's also something that's subject to change and therefore creates a
maintence issue. i guess i want to know whether this enables anything
that makes the maintenece effort worth it. my fear of course is that
we end up with a collection of useless out-of-date data.
Unfortunately the whole world is subject to change. Where does one draw
the line? Data must have a life expectancy of more than 1 year? Which
deliberately does not refer to the age of the information by the way,
only some indication of how frequently a particular type of data might
be expected to change. What about websites? Phone numbers? Postcodes?
Road names?
