There are a lot of different views on tagging and correctness. Some
common views I have seen:
* What is in the wiki is law.
* What renders in (pick your renderer) is law
* Try to follow the data that exists
* Anything goes

This is a major concern of mine, which is why I won't even bother
asking for local government data at the moment even though it is being

And that is a problem enough for current contributors, that a future
licence is uncertain, so how are you going to expect others to accept
it?

Thanks Frederik,
My end goal is to create a World Wide OSM slippy map.
So, from you post it seems I may need to step back before I can even
proceed to worry about expiring and updating tiles.
How would I create a high performance world map that is useable to many
