Eric, One other issue. Here is a link, https://www.dropbox.com/s/v1je9m490c0yns4/Why%20Flagged.png, to an area, http://osm.org/go/WJIDU~lZs-- near me. You can ignore the crazy tiger data on the right! However, notice the streets, 114th St SW, 115th St SW, 8th Pl W and 8 Ave W. There all all existing, but were flagged as being outdated. Is it because they are not exactly the same as the tiger data?
BTW, I really appreciate the work you are putting into helping us fix streets along with Martijn's Battlegrid.
