What are you using the import the data? Also, I've got a very robust SHP -> OSM (Now with Multipolygons!) converter written in Java coming soon. Currently it converts the geometries in the shapefile to OSM primitives and relations and applies the tags from the shapefile attributes. The OSM-specific tagging will have to be added with JOSM. I'm trying to think about a nice way to let the user apply OSM tags based on SHP attributes and the context that you're in (multipolygon inner, outer, linestring, etc.) Anyway, to answer your question, I think we first need to: 1) Standardize on FCode -> Tags 2) Keep track of which HUC codes are imported and by whom. (I can start working on this as a wiki page)
