I think this is going to be the big problem.  Whilst it isn't quite the 
same a the problem with those who have an imperative to map and don't 
care what source they use, the problem with a mass tool is that the 
general public don't understand the pervasiveness of copyright.

One other detail to consider, is that you need to provide good guidance 
on how to deal with long runs of houses with no visible numbers, as is 
common in my immediate vicinity. (I suspect the numbers were on garden 
gates, when people had front gardens.)
