It would be really nice if there was a repository of these kinds of data, especially if they were not limited in use, but there is a long way to go before everywhere else catches up with the US.
The OSGeo Foundation will try to work on this: http://wiki.osgeo.org/index.php/Public_Geospatial_Data_Project We are currently forming this project into a committee of the foundation. Feel free to join us, and/or contribute your suggestions.
Meanwhile the Foundation committee on Public Geospatial Data is established: http://wiki.osgeo.org/index.php/Public_Geospatial_Data_Committee There is also a dedicated mailing list and an IRC meeting in #osgeo on freenode tomorrow (see there for details). You are welcome to join, Markus
