Huh? IMHO we DO want to have every single registered / physically existing business in OSM, and I couldn't see why not? They will have an adress for instance, they will potentially care to keep the address current, ... How would you make the distinction of what should be there and what not? An insurance company yes, but a SEO office not? If we start to bring in relevance criteria for actually existing stuff than it will also have side effects (some mappers will go away like they have in certain local wikipedias, because they feel their contributions aren't wanted). cheers, Martin
