This might be a pretty drastic question to ask, but perhaps it's time to
start coming up with a community policy regarding banning or
blocking-temporarily users that damage the data by putting it to a vote.

Perhaps with API 0.6 coming it will be easier to get rid of crummy edits,
but as OSM gets more popular, it'll be important for the community to at
least have thought of ways to prevent vandalism from happening.
