We've never bothered adding verified=no for tracing from Yahoo maps with Potlatch, or adding new roads in the city with only very rough GPS accuracy, or any of the other sources of OSM data, many of which are often worse in quality than the Ordnance Survey data (which, from all I've seen, is reall

Kai, I think this is a good idea, and a very well presented argument - a push to get UK OSM coverage up would make the uk dataset more useful (more chance of being able to search for an address etc.). I think it would be worth treating a 'blind' tracing (as opposed to tracing an area that you know
