I also welcome this development. I could need support in organizing the Import of the german TMC location-codes myself. (This will allow routing- and navigation -applications that use OSM to use electronic traffic-messages very easily.) I already wrote the code to parse these location-codes, have a schema, reference-implementation to use them, ... but I don't know how to organize the import of the parts that can be automatically imported and more importantly the parts that need manual assistance. (When germany is done there are a dozen other countries with TMC location-codes that have published them openly or may be willing to do so.)
