For RABA-KGZ landuse import in Slovenia we pushed the-10 character limit in shapefiles / dbf to 11 characters and even inserted special characters (colons) in field name (to allow us to have "source:date" tag) by altering the binary data using bbe (sed-like binary block editor) as the last step of data preparation: bbe -e "s/SOURCEDATE\x00/source:date/" source.dbf -o target.dbf JOSM reads it nicely using OpenData plugin, as well as QGIS and other editors. Full example and context can be seen at https://github.com/stefanb/RabaSplitForOSM/blob/master/makeOneSplitExplode.sh#L94 Example shapefiles can be seen (in browser and in JOSM) at http://raba.openstreetmap.si best regards, Stefan
