This would make sense, but I can see a couple of small technical
issues that would need to be solved:

* They don't have addr:interpolations and just show the end nodes of
an addr:interpolation.  When someone deletes one end on that site,
they'd get a conflict.
* The city field is obligatory why I believe OSM chose to use the
admin boundaries for that.  So maybe the site should use admin
bounndaries too, and only save the "city" field's value when it's
different from that derived from the boundaries.  Maybe this would
prevent people on their site adding the city name to all addresses
I've tagged in my city.  I like how the maxspeed map uses the
boundaries.

On the other hand maybe they should have a field for "parish",
"county", "province" that an address is in, so like flickr it would be
possible to derive missing boundaries from entered data.

Can you relicense a CC-BY-SA 2 content so that it cannot be imported
back?  I thought the SA would prevent any such trick.

Cheers
