Bonjour Frank,

The problem is not related to a NAD27-NAD83 conversion. With Michael's example, 
I am now sure that the problem is related to the quadtree clipper. I must find 
a way to round quadtree's tiles coordinates to a proper value.

Thanks to Michael

Best regard,
Daniel

I've seen some of these deviations as well during Canvec import. Because they 
are so small (< 1 meter), I just decided to glue the polygons together, so any 
slivers are gone.

It is inconvenient though. Could it be related to that some sheets were 
originally still in NAD27, instead of NAD83 (which is approximately WGS84, as 
used by OSM)?
