Hi,
If you do not want to start a new war, take the coordinates from Google
Earth/Maps. Judged by the blog
http://www.edparsons.com/2008/10/who-map-is-it-anyway/
Google will not rise a hullabaloo against you. But if you want to have fun
check the coordinates from both OSM and Google (and Yahoo and Bing as well)
and use the average.
