It's a bit understated but adding the type of building terrace, detached
etc and the number of stories is of great interest.  House numbers as well
if not present.

This is all boots on the ground or local knowledge stuff that cannot often
be done from imageryand there isn't a problem with the outlines being drawn
incorrectly.

This is the data that is simplest to map for new mappers and cannot be done
any other way.  The building outlines, well NRcan are looking at making
these available through the Federal government open data portal beside the
work that Stats can is doing.  To me accurate building outlines can be
brought in from Open Data perhaps not this month but in the foreseeable
future.
