In the recent discussion about the the imports in France and DWG governance the issue of multiple "layers" in OSM came up again. If we had some kind of layer system we could stage imports through them instead of adding all data to the OSM database directly and this would help finding problems etc.
It turns out there are many other interesting uses of multiple layers but also many technical and social questions around them. I have written down my thoughts on this subject in a (rather lengthy) blog post: http://blog.jochentopf.com/2012-09-23-multiple-layers-for-osm.html If anybody wants to comment, I think this mailing list is the right place.
