I think http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/CanVec needs to have some specific guidelines for canvec imports. In particular 1. A caution to avoid importing coastlines or large lakes unless you have substantial experience importing canvec and understand how coastlines get generated/rendered in OSM. We have had enough problems/complaints with coastlines that I think we need a specific caution. 2. A warning to avoid duplicate features. (one might argue that this is obvious but the generic import guidelines don't actually mention this and clearly people are importing a lot of duplicate features) 3. To check keeprite (or something similar) after your import so you can find/fix some of the problems you will create. If no one objects I will update the above mentioned wiki page to reflect include those warnings.
