while I agree somehow, the algorithm might be so complex that you'd have to put a very long list of tags to the object and there might be stuff that is hardly puttable into tags, but might still be verifiable. Also figures like annual_number_of_tourists or annual_number_of_pilgrims are not verifiable by the small on the ground mapper, and institutions in charge of determining these figures might be tempted to cheat in order to appear more important, so there will always remain some doubt ;-) cheers, Martin
