But I'm still not clear if that is done of a properly geo-referenced 
overlay/layer? The initial automatic process would be creating that layer 
although I would accept that keeping historic versions is something that could 
be a cost that nobody will cover?

How is the cadastre.openstreetmap.fr data structured? It sounds as if this IS 
the base import of the cadastre data? So what is missing is a 'staging' layer, 
which identifies what has been imported. I presume that the current view is that 
it's this 'automation' that is not practical yet? But the 'extra' tools being 
provided simply allow large blocks of raw data to be copied over once they have 
been identified as building or what ever?
