Hello,

I've created a proposal for imagery objects and other objects that are 
only used internaly in osm.
  http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Proposed_features/osm

Aerial Imagery:
---------------------------
With the new Bing images many new relations have been created that 
contain boundaries of hires images. I think it would be cool to have a 
uniq tagging for such objects.
Examples without unified tagging:
  http://www.openstreetmap.org/browse/relation/1291579
  http://www.openstreetmap.org/browse/relation/396170


Worksets, Experimental Tagging, ...
---------------------------------------------
Sometimes mappers are creating objects with experimental tagging or 
collections of objects for personal use.

Mappers that do QA work sometimes delete or change that objects.
Thus the experimental mappers try to tell those QA mappers not to delete 
that objects with additional tags. e.g.
"note=this is a test relation, please do not delete it", ....

These messages can only be read by human mappers, not by bots. To make 
it easier for the QA mapper, the bots and the mappers that are working 
on new things it would be nice to have a uniq tagging for such objects.
The proposed tags are:
  osm=experimental; osm=test; osm=temporary; osm=workset


Comments and additional ideas are welcome.

Regards
Werner (werner2101)
