Some of these boundaries have been edited to include highway=* and  
waterway=* tags (mainly in areas with (at the time) no good imagery).  
How easy is it to get a list of these ways? Now that better imagery is  
available, now would be a good time to move these tags onto new, more  
accurate ways, using imagery, prior to the boundaries disappearing  
(with the loss of other information e.g. names). (Even if the  
boundaries weren't disappearing, it would still be good to create new  
ways, as the boundaries often aren't accurate.)

(This would be a good project for someone with spare time. I'm still  
doing edits from my SA trip a month ago, and will be continuing this  
for at least the next week.)
