Hi Frederik,
If someone downloads with osmxapi, chances are they can't be bothered
with fixing mistakes they see, because they haven't recently visited
the location. If he uses JOSM or Potlatch he's much more like to
review the data. Like any statistical tool, it needs large numbers to
paint an accurate picture.
It's just an idea. A number of simpler tools may well be of greater
benefit. Tools that get more people to use the data and encourage them
to correct any mistakes.
