Thanks Steve, very well said :-)

I think my best course of action is to proceed in importing a VERY
small test area of the canvec/NHN features that i know is good. And
post the known bug of "duplicate intersecting nodes" (bug1)

I then will stretch my learning curve to learn python & make AutoMatch
work for CanVec data. (bug2)

Great work as always,
cheers,
Sam
