This particular proposal also seems to be heavily
relying on a few
global placename databases that: 1) have very minimal data (often just
coordinates); and 2) have lots of errors, or at best ambiguity. Someone
already found a village in Nigeria that likely doesn't even exist.
This point was brought up on one of the discussion pages.
I believe the plan is to use the intersection of two or three
nominally-independent databases.
