[OSM-dev] project idea

recently I discussed some functionality in the newbies list under the subject 'Re: [OSM-newbies] Maxspeed'.

Does anyone agree on whether it is worth adding a project description on the Student Projects page?
If yes, I will catch that task.


Description in short:

in every country, in several counties, in certain towns, there are properties characteristical for some object types of a certain kind.
Using boundary objects, one could create a geographical-bound css-like object containing the tags to be used as defaults to overlay each such object's tags found inside of that boundary object.

Task is to find a way of...
- tagging such a boundary object
- data representation in the OSM technical environment to serve queries for such objects
- technical setup to support queries for such objects
- API functions to support such queries
- definition of use-cases to be used as introduction and as a pilot-project to test such a function's versatility

Thanks for the feedback,
Thomas
