The Potlatch2 stuff doesn't deal with the GML at all. What we're being given, separately from this GML, is a converted version of the dataset, and from the correspondence that I have it's going to be released under the OGL. For the dataset that I'm dealing with, there's no question whether there will be some bits not suitable for inclusion in OSM - that would somewhat defeat the point! As for the potlatch 2 code, it's worth clarifying that both the merging code (in potlatch2) and the serverside code for accessing it per-bbox [1] only deals with OSM format data, not GML. The work for converting it from GML into .osm is contracted to the people who actually understand the GML representation! It was done this way to ensure that everything I've put into potlatch 2 is entirely generic and reusable for any other datasets we wish to merge in the future.
