Indeed - this is certainly not an example to use as a reference for 
imports elsewhere.

Still the fact that there have been no complaints does not mean there is 
nothing that could be complained about.  Especially since about 2/3 of 
the data does not show up in the standard map at the moment so most 
people are not even aware that this data exists.
