I was just thinking about how to keep in sync with their database,
and to try and find out which points are mapped and which are not.

I'm also considering trying to do a full import and merging
existing nodes / houses with their data and things like that.  I
would actually like to mostly automate importing updates comming
from them.  I think that at some point we will at least need a way
to see see the difference between the 2, and having a direct
relation betweem them could make things easier.
