how do the borders of "important" buildings affect their size? Ojw 12:48, 28 June 2010 (UTC)

I'm not sure whether the red/brown borders should be considered part of the building. However, the StreetView buildings aren't particularly accurate, and the steps I have taken aren't a particularly accurate vector trace of the StreetView raster images. So I wouldn't think that the borders add any significant extra margin of error. Given the inaccuracy of StreetView I think it is only useful to get a rough approximation of buildings into OSM that can be tidied up later on with ground surveys and high quality aerial photography.
