Does anyone know what geophysical data collection is planned as part of the
2010 census? It seems like with an actual enumeration required, the census
workers could get a coordinate for each address they visit next year. Is
anyone on the list going through the census training courses being held now for
the census takers?

I suggest that you do the area around my house. I've been adding
Karlsruhe-style addressing ways, but with all of the houses marked
with addr:housenumber and building=yes. Where neither the mailbox nor
the house have a number I've added a node with just building=yes. I'm
at 44.73 -74.94.
My ways are as accurate as you can get with a GPS receiver on a
bicycle riding at 12MPH, so they should serve as a good quality-
control test.
