I actually communicated with Bryan yesterday about a small QA toolset for iD. It's my understanding that using tools like keep right is preferable but if iD had a few basic QA tools I believe data quality would increase overall and you would get more users taking interest in QA efforts overall. My suggestion was to halo/highlight roads that did not have a name tag. 3-4 other simple QA functions would be great (non-squared buildings, disconnected roads, duplicate polygons/ways, etc). It would prevent some beginner mistakes from persisting in mapathons/HOT tasks.
