[Imports] Proposed Import - Cache Valley, UT Address Points

[jacob at cyptem.com]

Oh, that makes sense - thanks for the explanation. So the idea is to 
never let known issues into the main dataset in the first place.

Today I found the Conflation plugin for JOSM - I think this will achieve 
the above goal by providing tools to automatically merge address points 
with existing data in a clean way. Wiki update to come soon - I'll let 
this list know when I've got a revised plan.

And thanks to all for your patience, understanding, and expertise!
