I agree that it'd be nice to be able to set defaults for an area such as
typical speed limits.  

I guess it depends what you consider micromapping...

Here's an area in Google Maps:
http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&source=s_q&hl=en&geocode=&q=Winnipeg,+MB&sll=37.0625,-95.677068&sspn=45.957536,64.951172&ie=UTF8&hq=&hnear=Winnipeg,+Division+No.+11,+Manitoba,+Canada&ll=49.823878,-97.201324&spn=0.009192,0.024033&z=16

Here's the same area in OSM; I've added a lot of detail to this shopping
district including parking lots, buildings, and started to put in POIs.  I
think this is a HUGE improvement over what Google Maps shows:
