I think the point being made was missed here.  Whether current-version 
software using proprietary routing data can or can't do something is 
pretty much beside the point in terms of whether we should or not add 
certain info.  The point, IMHO, is more that it *can* be useful to 
routing apps that use *OSM* data.
