My aim is to merge the road data of VMap0, VMap1, TIGER, some African
countries and, finally, OSM. VMap0 has global coverage and all the
others should replace VMap0 wherever they are available.

This would result in a coarse road network at many places with some
detailed areas. In the end this would buy us a road network that has:
1.) Global coverage !!! (which is an implicit requirement for example
    for the use in FlightGear);
2.) high level of detail in some areas wherever we can get it.

I don't insist on hosting the resulting road network in a PostGIS
database, instead I'd be happy if OSM would do that for me - as long as
I could pull a dump that matches OGC requirements any time I want.
I've made a similar proposal to Ben Gimpert via private EMail some
weeks ago but silence has covered this topic,

Martin.
