[OSM-talk] Bing coverage relations, in particular 1298962

[maning sambale]

We used to do this for outlining hires imagery (as closed ways not

principle.  Instead, we moved the data to a separate webmap [0].
Further coordination, listing and other imagery updates are added in
the wiki as well [1].
