So the question remains why the information in not being added to the outlines.
Because the cadastre work is an armchair mapping process whereas the address
tagging requires local survey. They are often done by two different type of
contributors.
Armchair mapping via the bing imagery is just as rewarding, you just don't get
the false 'pleasure' of uploading thousands of entities at a time. But it IS
much more satisfying seeing OSM update an area you have just worked on with a
lot of missing roads, footpaths and the like. I accept that this does take a
little practice, and needs clean images, but France would benefit from a few
'cadastre' importers filling other details in the areas they are importing :(
Personally I would not be happy if *I* had uploaded some of the areas I'm
looking at ...
