I quickly hacked up a script to convert the Iowa data into a JOSM
changeset.  I converted Story County, Iowa (which includes Ames, Iowa
and Iowa State University) and stuck what I came up with here:

https://docs.google.com/a/ocjtech.us/folder/d/0B5VwdTUBhU7UdVNnb2swamx6MVE/edit

(hopefully that link works for you, this is the first time I've used
Google docs to share data in this way).

It looks pretty good from what I saw, with the obvious exception that
newer homes aren't tagged.  I'm going to clean up my code a bit and
stick it up on github somewhere.
