Edward,

  I am concerned that reckless users will use your tool to basically go
over the planet in a "task manager" fashion, running the matching for
square after square, selecting all matches and hitting upload. (On the
basis of "hey if 95% of matches are good then I am improving OSM, right
- someone local can sort out the 5% bad apples".)

While this would not be your fault but the user's, I hope that you will
do what you can to discourage such behaviour. As you write yourself,

> It works best if mappers pick areas they're familiar with.

Bye
Frederik
