The proposed procedure looks good and since the scale is so small (127 
records) it's not very different from performing it by hand. IMHO it's a 
good mini project for starting your journey with osm.


I would go a step further though:

"If no valid scheme is found, do nothing" - that's OK, but as the next 
step please could you *manually* verify these links and either fix them 
or add a fixme tag.
