I trust the source in this question is completely halal, kosher, gluten-free, vegan, organic, free-range, all-natural data, but some of the output I'm getting from it is rather odd.  Take, for example, this screenshot in JOSM near node 148319848 <http://www.openstreetmap.org/node/148319848#map=14/36.1758/-95.8591> in my neighborhood.
