Just to pick up one point from this...

Sounds like I'm bang to rights there!  Most of what I add to OSM 
(footpaths, trees, whether a local pub has a stone floor and a real fire 
etc.) could be exactly described as "maximising benefits for a minority 
of users".  Worse, the local OSMers all seem to be doing the same thing 
- shops, house numbers, a borderline obsession with tunnels, but 
everyone has different ideas of what to do, so that somehow a wide range 
of things are covered.

Cheers,

Andy
