We made some numbers in talk-es two weeks ago. It seems that OSM covers around 
17% of the spanish road network, measured in lenght: 63000km/370000km.

Extrapolating, that means that we would be aiming at 2.5 bytes per capita.

Maybe you should remake these numbers, but calculating bytes per kilometer 
square.

I got permission to use a censal list of street names - we should be able to 
tell out the percentage of street names that are right/wrong/missing - it 
would make a nice statistic. As soon as somebody hacks a script to do so.
