I think it's a great idea to have some more bing imagery example images in our tagging docs e.g. the 'Highway Tag Africa' page. There's some copyright concerns which might hold us back, but I think that would be a shame. I've just added some thoughts to that discussion http://forum.openstreetmap.org/viewtopic.php?id=23405 and linked a new wiki template we can start using on image description pages: {{Bing image}}

(ideally, the uploaded images in the wiki should be downgraded with JOSM lines, making the image reuse for other purposes impossible)." http://forum.openstreetmap.org/viewtopic.php?id=23405 Since I'm planning exactly that, i.e., composing new images containing a photo and a tagged satellite excerpt, and this for about two dozen pictures in the Wiki only, I have the strong hope this may go through with our legal team. Please raise objections now.
