Kate, I am not sure if I am following properly, but I think the issue here will be proper rendering (again, depending on what server and how selective the renderer; there are many Haiti specific side projects pulling from OSM as I understand and rendering in different ways to highlight different, I hate to say, POI's). I understood Jean-Guilhem's concern to be that the data will be uploaded, but not readily visible.
