The canvec:CODE refers back to the 'parks' for example.
So a search can be done for All canvec:CODE=2270010
and can extract (remove) just those features from OSM.
then compare with the new parks-converted.osm file, which has the 'name=*'
tag, and purge the 2 files.  then import this new file to osm.

Is this possible todo? (with osmosis or something?)

Because a whole area is converted at once,  a variable like adding a name.
... or even another example like  changing a value from natural=esker to
natural=land (if that was needed).  These things can be done via josm Find,
or via API

Anyway, others got cranky when i wanted to keep it.  (the same reason why i
dont keep the uuid)  (ie. its only good for internal reference).

Does that make sense?
I could be convinced otherwise :)

Cheers,
Sam
