Very interesting. I wonder how it relates to the research I had cited at 
  http://www.mail-archive.com/talk@openstreetmap.org/msg25869.html - I'm 
eager to read about its development.

I hope it won't be as flawed as the the partial mapping of a seemingly 
random subset of the grid that Google has been churning out in remote 
areas... But even if the result is imperfect, it will be a welcome help 
to kickstart manual mapping of virgin areas - thank you !
