    Dear all,<br>
    <br>
    The start from Steve is an interesting one. However, we should
    however not focus on "completion", because the map will never be
    complete. The tag as proposed "verified", would mean that all
    addresses require regular verification, else they disappear from the
    map, whilst they may be the same for more than 100 years.. Roads
    will hardly change in the same period, but lay-out will, however not
    on a yearly basis, but on  much longer time period. <br>
    Therefore it could make more sense to identify "Verification
    Sensitive Areas" (VeSA's).  They could be identified, by areas where
    a lot of mapping  activity is, (indicating that new developments),
    or areas where based on map information, reviews could be relevant. 
    The latter would be a learning process (may be suitable for an AI
    approach).<br>
    <br>
    I am afraid that if the map which opens with openstreetmap.org would
    be a map "for internal use only", attraction for new mappers will
    diminish. <br>
    <br>
    Regards, Hugo  <br>
