Could you map ways using JOSM and Yahoo aerial photography, export the
ways for a data set released under the public domain, and then import
into OSM? Or does the interpretation of the Yahoo Maps terms-of-use
require the data created with the aerial imagery to be released only
under the OSM license

One ore more:
building=yes

Next to it one or several:
amenity=parking
then enclose them all in one:
landuse=retail
If the shopping mall consists of multiple building

I think the fact that several people presented more or less fiddly ways
to obtain coordinates from the OSM map shows that there is at least some
need to have a coordinate display feature for www.openstreetmap.org. I
don't see that coordinates inserted below "Permalink" (as in Frederik's

Voting is optional. We could do with a lot less if you ask me. If more

And the way it has been amended with two keys in one table row means
