I combine all my GPS tracks on a dirty big Illustrator map of the UK.

If I want to annotate somewhere with "haven't got this bit", or "this  
bit needs some tidying", or "I took a short-cut here", I just put a  
text label in my "annotations" layer.

Now obviously this isn't a whole heap of use for those who use OSM  
alone to do their mapping, but I wonder if some form of "mapper's  
annotation" feature could be built either into the OSM DB or  
specifically into a client like JOSM.
