Anyone got any more comments about this import and the points raised below?

We (the DWG) got a complaint about it at the time (and there were a lot of "not in my name" comments on this list and on IRC), but there don't seem to have been any further comments since 27th April.

From a quick look, several issues with the species tags:
Some of them also include the cultivar, is that really part of the species? Or should that be in a separate tag? Some of the the tags appear to be truncated. eg the example tree from the wiki is Liquidambar styraciflua 'Worpl Presumably this should be Liquidambar styraciflua 'Worplesdon'. Is this a problem in the source data (limited to 32 characters)? Whether or not cultivar is a separate tag, it doesn't make sense to include half of the word. Some of the tags are not a specific species. eg there are several examples of species=Betula sp. It would be better just to tag this as genus=Betula.

For genus, I don't see much point in adding a tag for that, if there is already a tag for the species.
