Isn't that going to be true whatever mechanism is used?

If the OSM object refers in some way to the entity, then if the entity 
changes (its location or relevant object) the OSM object may have to be 
updated. If the entity refers to the OSM object and the OSM object 
changes (location or identity) the entity may have to be updated. 
Presumably the updates can only be done by those with the appropriate 
knowledge.
