That's not a problem with this data.

I managed to upload the whole thing with JOSM though to the test
server in 4 changesets:
http://api06.dev.openstreetmap.org/user/ourFootPrints%20import/edits

Here's an example of a way with some modified tags:
http://api06.dev.openstreetmap.org/browse/way/55355

All of the ourfootprints:* tags are derived from the
ourfootprints:raw_comment tag and munged by this super-ugly code:
http://github.com/avar/ump2osm/commit/ba5964286e4d13fe6f3b2d6b87b123f0b3a453eb

When I upload this for real I'm going to use something like these
changeset tags:
http://api06.dev.openstreetmap.org/browse/changeset/2766

Aside from doing some minor tweaking on highway classifications (e.g.
motorway -> trunk) this dataset is pretty much ready for importing
into the live database. Any comments on that?
