[OHM] copy old buildings from OSM into OHM

For loading Burning Man 2008/9 into OHM, I downloaded from OSM in JOSM; used JOSM filters to select only objects with start_date tags; copied them; created a new layer and pasted; changed the API setting in preferences, and uploaded. The copy step causes JOSM to treat all the objects as new, so they don't mix up the ids.

Easy examples: any historic (no -al) building in any major city, historic districts or blocks / quarters might be lifted directly. This will almost certainly also be the case for historical roads. Many modern roads cover similar courses, but with different dimensions and surfaces.

Copying this directly into OHM will cause issues due to object / way IDs, but I'm hoping someone can point out how to fix that. In the mean time, you should be able to fiddle with the objects in JOSM and upload them to api.ohm.org.

Anything that has an 'end-date' should be retained on the OHM if it is being deleted from OSM! But until there is a mechanism for archiving data, then it should not be deleted from OSM anyway.
