Hi,

I came across my first NHD imported data set this weekend, in Western MA.

http://www.openstreetmap.org/browse/way/43638395

It has the following tags.

NHD:ComID = 7711652
NHD:FCode = 39004
NHD:FDate = 1999/09/06
NHD:FTYPE = LakePond
NHD:GNIS_ID = 00212194
NHD:GNIS_Name = Lake Winnemaug
NHD:RESOLUTION = Medium
NHD:ReachCode = 01100005003135
gnis:feature_id = 00212194
name = Lake Winnemaug
natural = water
source = NHD

The NHD wiki is pretty confusing. Is there is any kind of consensus on
how NHD data *should* look inside OSM?  Should any of these NHD tags
even be maintained inside OSM?

Also, the GNIS id is prefixed with 2 extra zero's. Is that OK, or
ideally would that be fixed too?

Thanks
Jason.
