Can app make certain editing choices because the dev feels it should be a certain way, without consulting the community? Can community make changes impacting the app? Going too far into both direction seems bad. See my other post to Michael -- I think having a structured data approach allows the dev to easily generate and compare versions of the rules. This way both the community can easily modify the rules when needed, and the dev can have a second glance over it, to see exactly what has changed. Essentially it is the same problem as with any other wiki, including osm map data itself -- ease and speed of community's contributions vs vandalism/errors. Someone makes a mistake and half of Asia shows as being under water (I saw that once on WP maps). Someone else vandalizes NYC name, and we get a lot of media attention... bad attention. Devs cannot know all the mapping rules - they cannot be responsible for checking them all. Instead, it would be better if we build good validation practices around those rules, so that any vandalism or simple mistakes become easy to spot, and very quick to fix. (P.S. Mateusz, sorry for the dup)
