[OSM-talk] Edit review: ele=0

[Lynn W. Deffenbaugh (Mr)]

Possibly using some 3rd party source of elevation data by coordinate 
(like the Shuttle Radar Topography Mission data from 
http://www2.jpl.nasa.gov/srtm/) and if the ele=0 tag is on a location 
where the average terrain around the coordinate is substantially 
different than zero would be a way to flag the "bad" vs the "good" data?
