In case 2 I'm slightly concerned about the ambiguity of the phrase "If you 
just use the OSM database", particularly in view of the other use cases 3 & 
4 which talk about mixing OSM data with other data.

I believe there could be a misinterpretation that "If you just use the OSM 
database"  means "if you don't add anything to OSM data".
