i've removed the list. it was intended as a bit of fun, certainly not
to offend anyone and i honestly didn't expect anyone who wasn't doing
bulk imports to end up on the villains list. by way of explanation,
"villain" is a kind of old-fashioned word in modern british usage - i
definitely didn't mean criminal. apologies to anyone who was offended.

it's as simple as two nodes having exactly the same lat/lon, as
explained on these pages:

the whole thing is offline right now anyway, but when i get it back
online i'll add your suggestion to the TODO list. it's unlikely to be
a downloadable file (kinda the whole point was that it should be
minutely-up-to-date), but something like a map call should be
possible. or to hook it into a larger OSM bug-tracking system like OSB
if it's able to handle the millions of points...

cheers,

matt
