There is a Google Summer Of Code 2009 project proposed for doing item 3 
for OSM. Currently there is a shortage of Mentors, so if you want to see 
this implemented you might want to consider volunteering and mentor that 
student.

Contact ian.dees at gmail.com for details on how to get started.

(I've already volunteered, but to mentor for a different OSM project).
