Hi Rafael, Many thanks for your feedback!
I just added a link to the data release letter both organisations have signed. I will add a link to the original data file(s) by tomorrow. And yes, many of the features currently on OSM seem to have been traced against Bing while the buildings we intend to import have been traced against a high resolution aerial photo which we think has a higher absolute positional accuracy than the Bing imagery. So we would prefer to import the buildings with the position/coordinates they have now. What is the experience from other places and common procedure if data to be imported has been traced on better imagery than what’s already on OSM? I will correct the four crossing buildings before import and add the two tags you proposed to the changeset.
