Here's my feedback on this import: 1) There are a lot of roads that quite simply are better left unnamed. Sure, they may have an official name in some dusty corner of a disused goverment database, but that's not a cartographic decision. This is especially true for loop roads in camgrounds that are not signed with a name. To the extend OSM reflects what one can verify on the ground, they don't belong. >From a map design point of view, they don't belong. >From a user experience point of view, they are not needed and just detract from the important parts of the map.
2) The* nps:verified* tag is problematic. I don't have a problem with *source=national park service gis division*, *access=official*. But *nps:verified* kind of sits in the middle. The tag does not really say the feature is official. The tag does not really say "don't edit this". NPS itself can keep a running tally of OSM ID numbers that are "official" for making park service maps. If a community edit results in an officially mappable feature, just add those OSM IDs to the list that generates the map. The NPS can keep several such lists, for various flavors of maps generated. Please do add a source tag. Please consider if *nps:verified* is really the right solution.
