[OSM-newbies] Bulk import of city limits from Brazil

If your kml file is OK and it is the conversion from kml to gpx with
gpsbabel that is causing the problem, you might like to try GPS Utility
(there is a freeware version that should be enough for a test). I always use
this in preference to gpsbabel when converting back and forth between kml
and gpx - just a thought.
 
GPS Utility is at http://www.gpsu.co.uk/ ...

That's what I though in first place. But in JOSM, when I open the gpx file,
there's 3 layers: "unnamed" which should be the OSM map (not downloaded so
blank), "rio.gpx", where should appear the dots/lines and "Markers from
rio.gpx", which has the long names. But, those names look like XML, and if I
mark to hidden these markers there should be appearing dots/lines from
rio.gpx, but there's none. So I supposed that the convertion was wrong, and
the files are corrupted.

Wonder if I was able to make it clear.

Anyway, is there another method to convert those proprietary DGN files to a
format which could be read by JOSM or other OSM editor?

Thanks

Not necesarily. The GPX file seems to have lots of named waypoints with lots
of long names, that's all.
