I think that the most important thing for us to map correctly is how 
things relate to one another, and the physical accuracy in terms of 
coordinates is (a little) less important.

A hypothetical routing engine could refuse to plot a route along the 
road if it intersects with a an area marked "no access".

If in practice the road can clearly be observed to run between the two 
"no access" areas, then I would endeavour to model that fact in 
OpenStreetMap and consider the (potentially imported) "authoritative" 
data on the overlapping landuses wrong.

Bye
Frederik
