The osc file[1] generated in Stage 2 is compatible with JOSM.

I spot checked a few nodes and they look correct too. See also the
attached screenshot.

My understanding of this Stage is to fix all the discrepancies between
streetnumber=X/Y in osm and streetnumber=Y;unit=X in the vicmap dataset,
before Stage 3 - uploading new addresses from the latter.

I can do the test upload of a small area (say ~100 addresses) and report
back.

I will check the scripts that generate this file, to find out whether
the logic indicates the file has full coverage corresponding to the
datasets.
