I propose that instead of marking the OSM objects, we provide a way of
marking the imagery itself. This would work similar to the imagery
offset database that some editors already support[1].
A user would draw a polygon on the imagery, showing where it was out of
date. This would be uploaded to the server along with an identifier of
what imagery was in question and a user-provided note. When another user
viewed imagery in that area, it would be marked perhaps by shading,
coloring, or even hiding the area within the polygon. A sufficiently
advanced version could even detect when the imagery changed and a
listing was obsolete.
There are of course pluses and minuses to each way, but if the imagery
is what's wrong, I think the imagery should be marked, and I also think
this lends itself to more features and better workflows.
