The one thing I do see as a real issue
I don't think that the requirement of being able to contact someone (without first setting up a twitter account) is "not real"!
is the legal one. All twitter POI contributions would be added through one account - at least initially, see below. This account has to be made by a real person and that person is legally bound to the license and CT. Will this person or legal entity need permission from the people actually using the twitter scheme to be in conformance with the license / CT? How does Wheelmap.org handle this, if at all?
In contrast to your proposed twitter scheme, wheelmap anonymous edits can only be made through their site where I'm sure they will have some sort of statement that says "by submitting your data you agree..."; this is more difficult since you cannot do a "by using the so-and-so hashtag you agree...".
I can see that happening. After a few additions, the scraper application may send a tweet encouraging the user to create an account.
That sounds like a plan. Personally I'd never bother to try adding POIs through twitter but there might be people who do.
Don't geht the "wheelmap visitor" thing wrong; the *only* thing that this visitor can do is to set one specific tag to one of three specific values on

Fair enough, that is fairly well constrained. On the other hand, it is also 'more anonymous' in that there is no way the edit can be traced back to a real person, whereas the contributions through the twitter scheme could at least be traced back to a user account.
Yes. And I'm not really supportive of the "wheelmap visitor"; if others come along saying "if wheelmap can do that then I can do it too", I'd vote for disallowing any smallest anonymous edit, including wheelmap, rather than seeing this proliferate.
