A while ago (late last year, early this year?) a group in Germany did
something like this, where they checked all the data on a completed
area (I'm thinking Munich, but I may be wrong) against some standard
database.  Then they doublechecked all the differences to make sure
they were real, and gave the resulting list back to the council.  It
was talked about on the talk list.  I think they were checking roads
existence and naming, rather than the actual shape, but I could be
wrong.

If we can find that, I'm sure those involved would be happy to give us
some pointers on how they did it.
