I note that near where I live, someone has traced the edge of the high
resolution imagery and tagged it:
note=Limit of Yahoo! aerial photography around Oxford.
This is great, but can we make a standard tag for this that we can
search for across the whole world, using OSMXAPI for example?
Like:
aerial_imagery_available=Yahoo!
aerial_imagery_available=openaerialmap
Do people agree with this example? If so I'll add it to Oxford and any
others I come across.
