Hello,

you mean counting the tagged nodes and ways?

That sounds dangerous, what if somebody splits highways in small potions? 

in some places, somebody has imprted hundreds of buildings, but that does not 
increase very much the quality of a map, 

then you need to consider separately the main tag (name=x) because that means a 
lot 

then there are areas with short streets (medieval quarters) and areas with long 
streets (suburbs) , etc etc etc... sounds very complicated

You would need a lot of time to create a function that can replace the honest 
opinion of someone who knows a bit about OSM and about the area of interest. I 
dont think it's worth the effort in my case.

Wow, what a lot of work. What made you decide to go down the subjective 
assessment path, rather than just counting the number of OSM entities within a 
given bounding box?
