[Talk-ca] GeoBase Aboriginal lands provincial OSM zip files now available

[Adam Dunn]

Taking a look at BC 0006.osm, some questions (I've also imported/uploaded
the following examples so others can see):
Looking at Skowkale 10 [1] and Upper Sumas 6 [2], both of these reserves
have multiple exclaves. They're essentially one large reserve (each) that
has been carved up into pieces because public roads run through them. I
don't know much about aboriginal land treaties (perhaps each of those pieces
really *should* be separate), but perhaps they should be tagged using the
example of "Use Case: More than one (disjunct) outer ring" from [3].
Enclaves (inner/outer polygons) seem to be handled correctly, but exclaves
(outer/outer) are not. Is it possible to do this with the script?

Looks like there's some encoding errors for the Pekw'xe:yles reserve [4].
The name:fr tag has value with É in it. Should this be an e with accent
aigu (accute accent) "é", or something else? Any fix for the script for
that?
