Ah yeah I put URL as a placeholder I was going to replace. At the moment
you can only view that locally within the repository as I haven't hosted
it. I was working on getting it out on GitLab pages or something like that
from the CI/CD pipeline.

For testing, I feel it should be a number that we can manually work with.
After your testing either we need to then wait for the planet export to
catch up with your changes, or potentially have a conflict to deal with in
JOSM (or maybe JOSM would handle it, I'm not sure).

Not the case, I think it's great that you've taken interest in the import,
if we can work together to get it done that would be ideal.

It's a balance, I don't want to hold things up, at the same time we don't
want to mess up such a large import by rushing.
