Since we have user management anyway, we could also just have a user 
preference that says "with or without coordinates". Anonymous surfers 
would get the map without, logged-in members would see what they prefer.

I think those that desperately want coordinates should simply go ahead 
and implement one of these options. As long as you don't clutter the map 
for those not interested, I don't see that such a change would be 
rejected. OSM is a self-service project ;-)

Bye
