Righ, the issue itself is a very serious and relevant thing. Any other supporters? It might be started as a wiki page. Maybe it could be a bot which sets and un-sets tags road=construction (and maybe some more) to OSM database in more data source-friendly way. I just don't imagine road authorities to use plain potlach or JOSM to post "today's works" every morning to us. And a special rendering layout, very similar to the recent "routing bugs" layout from CloudMade. I'm reading talk-list once a month or so, please email me directly.
