[Talk-us] NHD Scripts

[Theodore Book]

To be thorough, I think we would have to break it up.  For example, we 
list a Canal/Ditch (33600) as waterway=canal, but the OSM tag is only 
for use on ways, while the NHD applies it to areas.  At the same time, 
the NHD point info gives dams as points, but the OSM waterway=dam is 
only for lines and areas.
