For RABA-KGZ landuse import in Slovenia we pushed the-10 character limit in
shapefiles / dbf to 11 characters and even inserted special characters
(colons) in field name (to allow us to have "source:date" tag) by altering
the binary data using bbe (sed-like binary block editor) as the last step
of data preparation:
bbe -e "s/SOURCEDATE\x00/source:date/" source.dbf -o target.dbf

JOSM reads it nicely using OpenData plugin, as well as QGIS and other
editors.

Full example and context can be seen at

Example shapefiles can be seen (in browser and in JOSM) at
