Perhaps the person with whom I was having the discussion was referring to their copy of OSM when they said "lock down", which they are free to do. "nps:verified=yes" may prove problematic for them as anyone is free to modify an element with that tag and not remove the tag. From an overall OSM perspective, other than taking up some DB space, I don't think it hurts. Mike
