I personally have been doing a fair bit of what you describe, in Melbourne. Mostly fixing stuff that was traced from MMBW - quite a lot of minor road realignments, new dead-ends, roundabouts etc etc. I eventually settled on changing the "source=MMBW" to "source:name=MMBW" and adding "source=nearmap". Sometimes if I'm only changing a couple of points, I'll tag those nodes individually. Still, I add a lot of new stuff too: tracing landuse=retail, adding highway=cycleway, quite a few laneways, and there are still a surprisingly large number of streets missing in Melbourne. Oh, and a few major duplicated roads (eg, Nepean Highway, South Road) need a lot of work: missing service roads, missing cut-throughs, missing junctions, junctions that don't exist... Steve
