[OSM-talk] ITO Map now Global

I think the buildings and addresses map will be useful but there are so many
buildings on the map that some mappers might like to prioritize which ones to
add addresses for.  (In some areas the Bing imagery is so detailed that even
garden sheds can be traced, but it's not practical to visit them all.)

I wonder if you could add a 'big buildings' layer where only the largest 5%
of buildings on the map will be highlighted in red if they don't have names
or addresses.  These are likely to be hospitals, schools, big tower blocks and
so on, and for some mappers they might be a higher priority.  (Other mappers will
prefer to exhaustively map every building in a smaller area, which is great too.)
