[HOT] How to incorporate WASH data into OSM

[Joseph Reeves]

Sure, but can those existing keys / values be extended to cover the wash
data or is it too far from the mainstream OSM data? Looking at the examples
given by Jose I'd say that much could be brought into the existing osm
schema without too much trouble.

Cheers, Joseph
