Using Mapnik tiles as an indicator of what's in the database could lead to a lot of unnecessary bugs or points of interest being added. For instance, in downtown Clemson, SC [1], the Subway has been mapped, but doesn't appear on the map because of the labling of T.D.'s. One shouldn't always have to be removing duplicate bugs/POI. Before the interface adds a POI to the database, perhaps it should query a bounding box around the reported area and see if there's a similarly placed node that they'd like to edit the position of or tagging instead of creating a new node.
