I note that near where I live, someone has traced the edge of the high resolution imagery and tagged it: note=Limit of Yahoo! aerial photography around Oxford. This is great, but can we make a standard tag for this that we can search for across the whole world, using OSMXAPI for example? Like: aerial_imagery_available=Yahoo! aerial_imagery_available=openaerialmap Do people agree with this example? If so I'll add it to Oxford and any others I come across.
