I know it is been discussed, but it is only limited by your client. A
client should be able to do something like Xapi, selecting only a specific
layer, with dynamic filtering.

This would be great for all other sorts of editing too.

Yes, would be great. But why are you unencumbered by copyright?
Usually who drew the plan owns the copyright (at least in Germany but
I guess in many countries). Get the architects to give their plans
(just basic ones would be sufficient, even 1:200) or use old ones
(there is, at least in Europe, a lot of old buildings and the more
interesting they are, the easier it is generally to get the plans
(books, etc.)).

sure, would also be great for complex trainstations / underground
installations, and many other. I'm thinking of getting some detailed
but of-of-copyright surveys of archeologic sites into the main
database (you can find them in old travel-guides, scientific
publications, old books, etc.).

cheers,
Martin

I suggested something similar to the talk-au list, I even mailed the contact 
address on the website of major shopping centre operators but they never 
replied.
