    What would actually happen in these locations?  Do they bring up the 
web site https://www.openstreetmap.org and use that?

    I see that it has been reverted, but what happened in the 3 months 
since the data was placed there.   Was there a plan to use and evaluate 
the system?

   The community generally seems open to the idea of adding them to 
tools and apps that end users use, although not yet for certain on the 
main OSM web site which has the purpose of mapping assistance.
