There does not seem to be any serious objection so i am going to proceed converting the data.
Two minor changes: - use capacity:persons instead of capacity for the research station capacity value. - only maintain the ADD:* tags derived from the original data attributes for the coastlines and POIs, not for the streams. It is doubtful how useful this data will be in the future. In case of the coastline it could help deciding on future updates though (since age and resolution of the ADD data varies quite a lot). The whole matter of source metadata to me seems to be an open issue in Openstreetmap. One can introduce such data through tags but there is no mechanism ensuring this information stays valid - geometries and tags can be and are changed independently so there is no way to verify if source attributes are actually valid without looking in detail at the whole editing history. I know that because of this the recommendation is to apply source tags to the changeset rather than the geometries. This is not feasible in case of fine grained attributes like the ADD coastline though where every way has different attributes.
