| Best to assume that we would be the last to hear from Y! about areas
covered

People have also traced the boundaries of aerial imagery as ways in OSM.
Could we get those boundaries drawn on a slippy map somewhere?

Around Oxford it's currently tagged with:
note=Limit of Yahoo! aerial photography around Oxford.
which is a bit unwieldy - we should probably come up with a better tag
that we can use everywhere.
