I did, but I held off because most of the data wasn't very useful (points in the middle of the road or in the middle of a field, etc.)

When I get home I can upload the files I have.

    import

    Hi All,

    I'm planning on converting these to OSM format in the coming
    hours and dividing them up into chunks of some size that can be
    relatively easily checked by humans.

    I'll post to the list and to that page with the chunks later.

        MapQuest is providing several address files that contain
        user-provided
        latitude and longitude locations across the world. Our users
        provided
        these exact locations to us so that they could be mapped
        correctly on
        our MapQuest maps.

        There are currently three (3) main files - one for the United
        States,
        one for Canada and one for Europe.  More information can be
        found on
        our wiki page:
        http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/MapQuest/Critical_Addresses

        We didn't want to just import these addresses directly into
        OSM, but
        wanted them to be available to anyone that wanted to have
        them.  To be
        clear:

        1. these addresses are user provided
        2. there is a high degree of ground-truth from these users
        3. they WANTED to be in the data and be correctly mapped
        4. we've checked with our lawyers, and yes, you can have them
        - UNENCUMBERED!

        Cheers!
