It would be helpful to have the GNIS feature_id on existing data if it's
talking about the same thing.
There are lots of nodes where the name has "(historic)" or similar at the
end, which means that the feature no longer exists but is recorded for
historical purposes. I thought I had deleted those from the data before
import, but it looks like most of them got imported. I was planning on
searching for those IDs and deleting them when I scrape through the planet
dump next week.
