For loading Burning Man 2008/9 into OHM, I downloaded from OSM in JOSM; used
JOSM filters to select only objects with start_date tags; copied them; created
a new layer and pasted; changed the API setting in preferences, and uploaded.
The copy step causes JOSM to treat all the objects as new, so they don't mix up
the ids.

Anything that has an 'end-date' should be retained on the OHM if it is being
deleted from OSM! But until there is a mechanism for archiving data, then it
should not be deleted from OSM anyway.
