[OSM-ja] Yahoo data cleanup

[Andrew Errington]

I lived in Japan for a while and did some mapping there.  I also visit
there occasionally and use the map (and add to the map).

The Yahoo! import means that the Japanese mapping is extensive, but it also
means there is a lack of quality.

I think it would be too difficult to revert the Yahoo! import, but,
identifying common problems would be helpful.  New mappers could recognise
the common problems and fix them, which would help them gain experience.

My biggest complaint is that all waterways were imported with layer=-1.  In
my opinion waterways should have no layer tag.

Best wishes,

Andrew
