Many people, including myself, have included such tags. To my knowledge,
no one has ever used them. Given that you don't have a process for updating,
how does this plan differ?
> We plan to conduct training during the upcoming #Editathon.
Given that this is a week away, you'll probably need to do this training
without any actual importing, or use the dev server.
Additional feedback based on the wiki:
- You state that "We plan to follow & update the plan found at import
checklist". This probably has been done and that sentence needs revising.
- I suggest the tags import=yes, source= King County GIS (or similar) and
not kingcountyaddrimport=yes for changeset tags
- The AWS S3 link is broken, showing a hello world page, so I can't review
the OSM XML you've posted
