Just out of interest; why are we having this conversation? Is it just to 
determine who is right and who is wrong and who was right in the first 
place and who gets extra points for being super nitpicking (hello 80n, 
have you never written a "final" document and later made a v2 of it?) 
and who gets to sit on the golden seat in lawyer heaven?

Do you *want* to use Bing imagery but feel you cannot?

Or do you not want to use Bing imagery and are looking for a reason?

I mean, every now and then I enjoy being a tongue-in-cheek smartass 
myself, but somehow I have the impression that not only has this 
discussion left the ground a while ago, no, meanwhile someone has cut 
the tether as well.

By all means, if that's what floats your boat, continue - but you'll 
excuse if meanwhile I'm a little bit pragmatic and trace some aerial 
imagery. I'm sure it is wrong somehow, but I like the outcome.

Bye
Frederik
