[Michael Barabanov]

Hi Sam,

I'm not talking about keeping CODE=2270010. That's indeed not terribly
useful. But UUIDs allow us to later
match the imported features to potentially more complete Canvec datasets.
Example: imagine next Canvec data comes in that also has name= for each
park. If we keep UUIDs in imported data, it's trivial to write a script
to implement a join between the two feature set based on UUID and update
the OSM with park names.

We decided to keep UUID for NRN segments for similar reasons.

Michael.
