I think this error-reporting you're working on is gorgeous and will
become a milestone in the evolution of OSM.

As you compared it to trac I'd like annotate a few ideas for it's
further development. Like in trac different categories of error would be
nice:
- Wrong/No name (ideally referring to the object's ID)
- Wrong position/location (dito)
- Wrong direction for oneway (dito)
- Missing feature (just referring to coordinates)*
- [?]
- other

Depending on such a classification the mapper knows what needs to be
done to confirm/correct the error. Mispellings could probably be solved
by couch-potatoes, wrong directions must be checked on-site and missing
features or wrong locations require a GPSr.
