Interesting idea. My US database is currently catching up with reality, so
I can't really try until that has completed, but I do have an idea how to
make that work. Without relying on human tagging like in the Inspektor.
What I would do is select all (current) ways that overlap the bounding box
of the deleted way and that are created after 7/15, then calculate the
hausdorff distance between the deleted way's geometry and the results of
that query. If we get a close match, it is *very likely* that the way has
already been remapped. Identical highway= tags may further corroborate
this. What I am not so sure about is using the non-compliant geometry and
tags this way, from a legal perspective. Anyone who can offer any ideas on
that?
