When adding a new POI location, my own starting point is to establish the 
correct position on OSM, and add the address details so that routing can find 
the postcode, and then use the location as a tag for the third party links. If 
we promote this process with the likes of foursquare, then the primary POI will 
be clean OSM data? It does not matter where in the world you are ...
