Great that you like the idea too. Could we maybe just start with some simple implementation that just locks the shape to the user by some sort of ownership tag? Or maybe even more simple; if source=... and authoritative=yes then the shape cannot be modified until the tag is removed? > Are there any other use cases apart from authoritative boundary data?

Authoritative is probably the organisation with the highest quality that provides updates with a certain SLA. Because if /we/ need to update the data because it is not accurate it wouldn't be authoritative data in the first place.
