It seems odd to me that we are encouraging people to contribute using often pretty rubbish mobile phone gps receivers but complaining that the OS data is not sub-metre accurate. Maybe some people will be put off if the empty areas are filled in with OS data so they don't have a blank canvas but I bet there are just as many people out there not knowing where to start who would add street names and POIs and clean-up any OS errors.
