   As a person who deals with a lot of field collected data, not all of 
it has to go in OSM. :-) I also deal with water point data, although 
ours primarily comes from ODK. When it comes to data imports, sometimes 
the best thing to do is do the import in phases. Any tag that doesn't 
exist, or a value may need discussion on the tagging list, put it off 
for awhile. Just having some data on water points is really useful. 
Don't get too hung up in the deep obscure details. You can always add 
more detail later. I'm made my own mistakes like this and had to clean 
it up.

   I also have to deal with other organizations data models on water 
points. Like I mentioned, not everything has to go in OSM. Some of those 
details are only meaningful to the project funders. I haven't looked at 
your files, others have been doing a great job there.

   I think the point is people are trying to *not need* to do the field 
data collection anytime soon. Believe me, field data collection is a lot 
of time consuming work. Or a cleanup after your import, or having your 
changesets reverted.
