I think I'm with Joseph here, we don't map cadastre stuff also because it makes no sense for us to become a copy of data that is authoritatively kept elsewhere. OSM's strength is that data can be edited by everybody based on observations. Data for which the sentence "if you edit this it will become wrong" is true should not be in OSM. > A larger point, however, is that we _do_ map land use; we _do_ map > protection status, and we _do_ map constraints on public access.

I am wary of this line of reasoning because it will in many cases lead to doing exactly what I write above, making a low-quality copy of authoritative data that is kept elsewhere.
