Sounds good.  Clear simple support for adding addresses would be especially 
useful.  This is probably the area that OSM is furthest behind other online 
maps and its not improving very quickly at the moment.

Personally I would not like to see much more than this and I don't think being 
able to reclassify a street is suitable without strict guidelines and/or limits 
(eg an untagged way).  For issues with these have a look around Fremantle at 
the moment and you'll see a number of oddly classified roads (secondary - trunk 
- secondary - trunk in the space of a few blocks).

Anything more than this and it would lead to easy vandalism and I can see lots 
of nearmap staff time being occupied with reverts rather than other things 
(like imagery of North Qld ;)).

The POI's should be select and choose, with the only text option being the name 
and addresses.

All up though it would be great to have extra street names added and address as 
well.
