Yes.

The "RES_CLASS" field  should probably map to different OSM tags. For
example, a national park does not get the same tags as a historic site. If
you are just importing national parks, and not the other RES_CLASS's, then
you are missing the "boundary=national_park" or "boundary=protected_area",
which is the primary tag over the protection_title tag.

Yes, you might be right. In general that
