We're using them in Australia, as for schema:

http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Import/Catalogue/ABS_Data

and I created a style sheet to display progress and make it easy to
see at a quick glance broken or not yet completed areas:

Also these are being imported manually to ensure good QA on the data,
Franc who imported the suburb data produced .osm files and then using
those in JOSM to compare existing boundaries that can be shared...
