[OSM-talk] Coastlines

[OJW]

One of the suggestions from last night was that we should make an effort to 
put coastline data into OSM so that the renderers can use it without having 
to load a separate dataset.

I've written a script to upload GSHHS "full resolution" coastlines data of 
selected areas to OSM, and have uploaded some example data around the isle of 
skye (57.3, -6.25)

There's a wiki page to describe the tags it's generating, and how to 
recognise, delete, or render coastlines generated by that tool.  The wiki 
also has a screenshot showing what the example data looks like in JOSM.

So... comments?  Should I run the tool and upload the whole UK coastline?
