I've got a bit of time to start working on the NHD import again,

not quite sure what to do with it; that is, I don't really have
a procedure for resolving conflicts visually/manually, let alone
automating the process.

A good middle point might be just to voluntarily add an ad-hoc tag
to the subject line, something like "SFBAY".
