Resurecting this old thread as Andrew Davidson has been working on this
import plan a bit more ->

Surfacing a few points from my review:

1. psma:loc_pid. Where this is a stable ID that is used as a reference, the
existing ref tag is better for this. If we want to be more specific then
ref:psma or something like that would work. No need to invent new tags here
when one already exists, is well documented and in widespread use.

2. Regarding source tags on objects, this might be something I added
originally, I can't remember, but I'm on the fence about it. While on one
hand I can see it being helpful for mappers to understand where these were
sourced from, over time as people make changes in OSM the source tag
becomes inaccurate. I've seen this with existing source tags, where people
generally don't remove them if updating based on a different source. Since
you can always inspect the history to find the source, is there really any
benefit to having these on each object? Given a whole bunch of other tags
like contract details, website etc. for LGAs can be added to, a top level
source tag is not perfect. I'm good with source:geometery on the ways, but
not sure about source on the relations.

3. More of a question for Andrew Davidson, is the plan for the actual
upload to go through the state borders and other ways already existing in
OSM, and delete the one with FIXME from your candidates, and use the
existing state border as part of the new relation? The "import" upload
should immediately be correct and not a broken state until post-import
changes clean things up, it should be uploaded clean in the first instance.
So this means manually working on it in JOSM before uploading.
