Yes, we need *more* OpenStreetMaps from which you can fetch different
types of information. For example, any data which is externally
maintained and updated really *shouldn't* be imported into OSM. It
should be made avaialble via an OSM-compatible protocol and data
format, yes. But it shouldn't be editable. Kinda like a
"closedstreetmap.org".
