As there already is a database available with the relevant
information, I'd voice my usual objections towards importing this data
into OSM. The data is not verifiable on the ground (well, I guess it
theoretically is if you had appropriate measuring equipment, but
still...) and probably changes somewhat frequently, making the data in
OSM difficult to maintain properly. So I don't see the added benefit
of having the data in OSM.

Cheers,
 Harald.
