Depending on the load, I guess so (and I guess the load will be light). I
can also publish it on a ftp server (does openstreetmap have one
available?) but I honestly don't see the need; everyone should be able to
contact kms.dk to obtain a copy and as they will probably refine it errors
may be fixed in later versions.

True. However in the city I live in I have tried to follow some streets
this way and it seems to correlate well.

In the data I have there are also accuracy indicators which would be nice
to have on GPS-positions as well.
