I'm not sure what you mean by, "That's just not happening." Clarify?

I should add that my comment about being highly in favor of the import is
riding on the assumption that we'll have something like 'tiger:reviewed =
no' (with editor support) to mark unreviewed areas. Ideally, an indication
that an address is unreviewed would be passed along by any services that use
them.
