[Talk-ca] Some feedback on import quality in Toronto

[Danny McDonald]

In JOSM, open the preferences dialog (F12), go to the data validator tab,
and click the "show informational level" checkbox (it is third from the
top).  Any validation done will then check for "Building with an almost
square angle", which will appear under the Other tab.  "Building with an
almost square angle" used to cause a Warning, but it was downgraded to
Other due to complaints - see https://josm.openstreetmap.de/ticket/16280.
