What you're not supporting is using that WMS I suppose but you don't say exactly for what. The text I prepare also very highly discourages roughly using what is bearing Cadastre coordinates, but encourages such things as discovering finding missing house numbers or locality names. So, regarding "the addition", my opinion is "yes" as long as the user is informed of the above. But, unfortunately, [J]OSM did not think of displaying such usage notes to the user discovering JOSM, installing it, fumbling and GO. The pity is that this downloadable Opendata is made of local files that are very inconvenient to use with an editor like JOSM. Please, keep the WMS going !!! It would be much better if shapes were on a server similar to WMS but vector. And in fact, an idea would be to put it in a second OSM2 server. The shape data would be converted to OSM2, as imprecise as it may be, but maybe with heuristic tags. Then the user would evaluate if the position is correct, copy OSM2->OSM and shift it to the right location. The Cadastre polygons usually have a good shape (thanks goodness) but are often in the wrong location. That is just a last resort alternative way of doing. Using AreaSelect to map houses including numbers is more straightforward and preferred for buildings. In fact, I strongly suggested that any OSM editor displayed the terms in the server metadata the first time the server is used, whenever they change and periodically. JOSM strongly refuses to do that. They refuse to display that a server strongly forbids using its data and they act as if that they could be able to list all of the allowed servers of the 89291 ones. And the very partial JOSM database should be repeated for every OSM editor. Think of Merkaartor. They've had a configuration for PICC from the start. Users start Merkaartor and they see PICC without warning. Maybe they think they launched a jigsaw puzzle game !!! And no vigilante ever complained. And [J]OSM says it's the way of doing. Not very logical to me who was accused of what I never did !!! I'm speaking of boundaries in my document too :-( And especially of the once sought old municipalities. They have traditionally been different from other sources. But if they're official... The characteristic I've noticed is that they avoid crossing parcels. So, watch who's selling their estates to keep them moving ;-) It's very convenient to display a WMS layer displaying only boundaries. All the best,
