It should go on http://openairspace.org, which would be edited using
JOSM, with mapnik tiles as a background layer. The only real
disadvantage is that there would be no database-level connection
between the end of the runway and the beginning of the airspace.

I wonder ... what about tagging the node at the end of the runway in
OSM with a pointer to the node number on OAS.org?  And vice-versa. It
would be straightforward to do a merge of the two databases if/when
you needed to treat them as one. Or you could just follow them as if
they were a symlink. You could do the same thing with subway lines and
pipelines.

But there I go, reinventing layers. Maybe we finally need them?
