Quite so -- Na zdrowie! I've seen previously parkable streetsides 
transform to outdoor amenity seating, bicycle lanes, bicycle 
parking/rental stations, electric car charging stations, food 
trucks/carts/stalls, small parks/gardens, etc. And all that aside, the 
parking regulations can change at any time. So if streetside parking is 
to be mapped, it needs survey or recent imagery, and it needs ongoing 
maintenance. (That's one of the disadvantages of using unrendered tags 
to encode this info -- it will be more difficult to see when updates are 
needed.) J
