Impressive result - can you provide a how-to for recreating (and maybe
improving) the steps you've accomplished?

I've reviewed it, but there are some flaws which (in my opinion) are
blocking the import:
* adjacent buildings do not share nodes
* no multipolygons at buildings with holes - those would have to be
created manually
* The buildings are not orthogonalized (q in JOSM)
* nodes at very obtuse angles (e.g. 88°) should be removed.
