In that case, the data should not be in OSM but should instead be pulled in on another level - for example, create transparent tiles to show on top of OSM tiles, or make a shapefile and pull that in through Mapnik. I assume that with OSM becoming more popular and OSM tools becoming more widely used, there will be some pressure on OSM to import various kinds of data that is alien to the concept of OSM just to make it easier for the users - but we must resist that pressure. OSM data is data made by and for the people, and if someone has data that must not be modified (because of course it is 100% error free...?) then don't put that data in OSM! > How do people feel about me importing this data (with all of their > metadata), adding an immutable=yes tag, with the intent of tracking > their dataset, and deleting --outright-- any changes made by OSM > editors. Absolutely impossible if you ask me.
