Oh excellent, I didn't know the potential datasources wiki existed. I
understand there are legal and logistic concerns so I wanted to see what
the community thought before I messed anything up. My impression is that
the import function is generally frowned upon and not widely used

Hello again,
I found a few helpful pages in our wiki on that subject:
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Legal_FAQ briefly discusses
importing of data from other sources under section 2
There is a fairly extensive record of datasources which have been
investigated so far:
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Potential_Datasources mostly with a
short discussion why it is considered acceptable or not Having a look
at it might give you an impression about potential pitfalls.
If your data constitutes a substantial amount of objects then this
would be considered a bulk import which can only be performed after
discussion. See more details about this under
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Import
I do not want to scare you from contributing but just make the point
clear that integrity of our data, both in terms of reliability and
legal status, is of prime concern in this project.
Regards
Michael
