[OSM-talk] urban surveying speed - can it be estimated as population per hour?

it almost seems that way!  but let's not get carried away - it wouldn't do to sell short the big map data providers ;-) 

anyways, thinking forward, do you reckon:

(i) the rate of road addition will go pretty linearly up to 100% completion of road network and then stop (presumably, then, with ongoing addition of more detailed attributes and points of interest); or 

(ii) we'll start hitting a level of completeness where it's difficult to discern what's completed and what's not, and the last mile(s) will be by far the hardest?  at what % completeness would we start seeing that?

or do you see some other scenario?  what ways could we mitigate any tail off as completion is neared?

cheers, dan.
