Like in all the wiki-world, this should be guaranteed through the reference
claim, shouldn't it?

I can't think of anything really useful right now... What I'm afraid of is
creating fake grids like it happened in DBpedia with too much rounding (see

might in the future for very POI-dense areas.. (might it?)
