Thanks a lot everybody for the input and especially to Malcolm for the extensive review of my OSM files.
It seems currently the import tool is capable to convert the NOAA ENC to more or less satisfactory OSM files. As a next step I would contemplate the automation of the import procedure itself. I put the updated proposal to http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/NOAA_ENC_Direct_to_GIS_Import#Data_Transformation Hopefully it would take care of previously raised issues of dealing with items edited by other users after initial import is complete. Your feedback is greatly appreciated. -- Sailor Jerry PS The import guidelines suggest putting the OSM file for review, is there any commonly accepted place or any place would do?
