We're almost certainly not going to be able to able to get the UK completely clean by the switch-over, and it's definitely good if we can prioritise work on particularly badly-tainted areas. But I wonder if another prioritisation approach might be useful too -- prioritising certain high-value types of objects, where-ever they might be. For instance, as far as routing is concerned, any gaps in the major road network is likely to cause significant problems for data-users. So might it be possible for someone to generate a list of highway=motorway and highway=trunk objects that are tainted, so people could work on eliminating those. The idea could extended to include the corresponding *_link ways, and if progress is good we could continue to do highway=primary and highway=secondary. We might want to do the same for railway=rail and perhaps waterway=river. Are there any other types of object people can think of that might be worth prioritising? You can sort of look for these types of object using BadMap [1] at low zooms, but it's not that easy, and the low zooms aren't updated as often I don't think. It would be much easier if there was a specific list of objects to work from. I'm afraid I don't have the hardware / experience / technical expertise to generate the data sets, but maybe someone who does might think it's a good idea... Robert.
