We really should create our own taxiway/airport database.
Robin Peel has proven to be really unreliable and every time you mention 
it's for FlightGear the data gets rejected. I've invested quite some 
time in adding taxiways to Dutch airports, and modifying existing ones 
where I knew they had to change but there have been four months without 
any sign of them getting in his database.

Jon, are you still interested in maintaining our own databases?

The way it is now we could reduce the effort by maintaining changes to 
the X-Plane database, so creating or own database would be:

1. import the Peel database
2. override known entries with our own.
