My main concern would be:
Are these areas somehow visible on the ground - with fences, or signs,
or other markers?
Because if they are not, then our mappers have practically zero chance
to actually edit (correct, improve) this data; and it would not make
sense to have in OSM at all. It could simply be kept in a separate
shape file and added by those who wish to render it, at the rendering
stage.
Only if these areas are verifiable and editable by mappers should they
be in OSM!
Additionally, I think that we need a more precise license (you write on
the wiki page that the data is reusable commercially but a pointer to
*their* licensing page would be good). The tagging you suggest will
surely be commented upon by others, but I'm wary of the eea:* tags you
suggest - they are unlikely to be of any use, once the data is modified
in OSM (e.g. if a mapper combines two nearby areas or splits one, what
eea:cdda:objectid should he use?).
Bye
Frederik
