What about one indicator of completness being automatic: How many key/value pairs per way or node. So you have the standard: this is claimed to be 80% complete by user:Bob (or this is validated to be 75% complete/accurate by user:Fred) Then you have addtionally: this as information to a level of 20%
I'm not sure how the levels would work. Maybe 10% means ways have a highway value and a name value, nodes have a name value and something else, unless the node is attached to a way it doesn't matter. 50% means at least half of the ways/nodes have an additional 3 tags. Obviously it would need some work to get the levels defined right but hopefully you get the idea. Either the level definitions would have to be changed about once a year (due to tag proposals, more data being able to be entered), or they would have to be relative to the number of approved tags.
