cite="mid:q440ae$8a8$2@blaine.gmane.org">IMO a key feature of "is this
an import or not?" is whether a mapper
looks at each (new) object individually. If yes, then it's not an
import. Opening a .osm file in JOSM, running the validator and then
pressing upload is not looking at each feature individually, ie an
import. Doing the above, but you use JOSM's todo plugin to (actually)
look at each object, makes it not an import.
