   Also take a look at Shp-to-OSM: https://github.com/iandees/shp-to-osm 
.  It supports a flexible tag mapping method.   The only trick I ran 
into is cases where I needed to map a single attribute to multi 
attribute: for example, alleys (highway=service, service=alley).  I just 
made up a temporary mapping that I could later edit in JOSM.

   I loaded the cloudmade Belize extract, and I don't see the phantom 
connections when I load it in JOSM.   I do see large numbers of empty 
nodes - the cloudmade extract is missing much coastline.   Could you 
post one of the node ID numbers?
