people, the less likely it is that those tasks will be performed
consistently. I'm not convinced that telling people how to perform a task,
and getting them to do it 10,000 times will lead to 10,000 correctly
performed tasks.

(At about this stage, maybe someone should introduce some statistics into
the discussion, like number of cycleways/footways/paths tagged in various
combinations in various countries.)
