This import does not meet normal OSM import quality standards and under 
normal circumstances I would probably revert it until someone has the 
time & diligence to do it properly. (The boundaries do not re-use the 
existing coastline but instead duplicate it in a rough form; where tho 
administrative areas meet, ways are not re-used either but duplicated.)

Usually, while we apply the rule "better crappy data than no data at 
all" for anything surveyed by humans, we are more strict with imports, 
and we ask people to either do it right or leave it for someone who can.

But of course this is an exceptional situation in that many people seem 
to be using the map data *now* rather than some time later when we had 
the time to polish it, so it was probably good to import the data, buggy 
as it is.

Bye
Frederik
