Ah yes, the concept of completion as applied to OSM. I believe Sam is referring to the completion of *importing government stuff* for the island. If Sam is referring to actual completion, then I think he needs to review the mythology of Sisyphus [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sisyphus]. I need only point to the barrier=fence tag, and that alone will introduce years of mapping yet to come.
On the topic of NHN, I'm trying to come up with a way to recombine Yan's flow data then split it in more geographical regions (something like what Sam mentioned). In preparation of that process, does anyone know of a good way to merge duplicate nodes on the command line? I've been reading Osmosis docs, but can't seem to find a way there. Otherwise we will have to rely on JOSM validator to find dupes for us...
