OK fine will do, it'll probably be either this evening or tomorrow now.

There is one possible issue. Some of the stuff I added was for 
natural=wood and natural=heath. From my (limited) understanding of the 
format, though, I think we may need to create another PostGIS table if we 
want to show areas with the 'natural' tag, because in one of the Python 
scripts there seems to be some SQL to create tables for 'landuse', 
'amenity' and various other things, which are supported by the current XML 
file. Am I correct?
