+1 for both items

I think odbl=clean is based on the honesty of the OSM
contributor.

It is exactly the same need of honesty if the contributor does a copy
and paste of data in order to make it odbl+ct compliant. The only
difference is that history remains intact and that it takes only 0.1%
of the time to do it.

I support strongly the idea of the odbl=clean tag.
