Hi,
I just stumbled across a changeset where someone helpfully added a
"toilet:access=customers" to 1350 pubs in the Greeater London area
(thereby adding no information but freshening the time stamp of the
objects, giving the cursory visitor the impression that the pub might
actually have been resurveyed which it very likely hasn't).
I don't think that this case is a good example to support your argument.
This is a perfectly acceptable addition which does add information -
that it's not a public toilet. You can't just walk in of the street to
spend a penny.
Why is it a problem getting time-stamped? If it doesn't, how would
anybody know it's been edited & able to verify it?
I sometimes get the feeling that people get far too involved in OSM that
they can't see the woods for trees where common sense & logic go out of
the window.
