IMO a key feature of "is this an import or not?" is whether a mapper 
looks at each (new) object individually. If yes, then it's not an 
import. Opening a .osm file in JOSM, running the validator and then 
pressing upload is not looking at each feature individually, ie an 
import. Doing the above, but you use JOSM's todo plugin to (actually) 
look at each object, makes it not an import.

"Has this piece of data been specifically checked by an OSMer?".
