Corey,

In my original message (as opposed to a snippet you quoted), I
suggest that matching geobase UUID is equivalent to throwing out the
data, if not position-wise, then topology-wise.  We can take the easy
way or a hard way, but end result will be pretty much the same.

Avoiding pissing off mappers is an important point, but I don't think it
negates what I said.

I would suggest that interested parties do try to import a geobase tile
for a reasonably populated area and then fix up connections. You'll see
what I mean immediately.

Michael.
