Wow, this looks really promising. During the time of the original import a tool like this was discussed but we didn't know if it existed and didn't want to write it ourselves. However, for future reference it would be *really* nice to be able to automatically generate diffs between OSM and external datasets and be able to "merge" them somehow. I'm thinking of the interface where the two dataset appear next to eachother with differences higlights and you can select which one is "correct".
