If the only difference between the ways is that NHD assigns a
different ID number to them, not combining them seems silly.
if the ids are consistent from one release to the next and there is any
notion of doing an update later, then combining them destroys useful
information.
So does any sort of improvement to the data. Do we want to edit and
make corrections to the data or just leave it as a useless import?
that's an artificial argument.
if combining them meaningfully improves the map, by all means do it.
if we're combining them and losing information because there is some
vague notion that somehow it's "better", then my argument is still valid.
