I believe that the TIGER import started in sparse areas as well. http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/TIGER There may be an advantage to starting with the boundaries first and then the hydro network (surface water). We have very few boundaries to merge with, and I expect the hydro data to be much better than the vmap0 and aerial tracing. Let me know if I'm mistaken. In an earlier post, Michel suggested looking at the more-complete road data first, to allow other provinces to catch up. I concur. In fact, starting with Yukon, with street and place names, and block face addressing will be a wonderful demonstration. It would be wonderful to be able to implement the Karlsruhe addressing scheme during the import.
