Support for importing CSVs with Longitude/Latitude columns

[flaimo]

out city has started an open data project (​http://data.linz.gv.at/daten/Geodaten/) and is offering the first data as CSV files which contain a longitude and a latitude column. it would be nice if i could import such files easily. when opening CSV files, josm could check for column headers which contain "Longitude" or "Latitude" (or an equivalent translation in another language) and use those values for adding the nodes. all other column headers are used as keys for the tags. i guess the only thing the user has to do after choosing the file, is tell josm which coordinate reference system is used for the Longitude/Latitude columns.

The new plugin opendata allows to do that. I have tested it with one file of your portal, it seems to work. Be aware the plugin need JOSM 5124 or later. Do you have any programming skills ? If so, would you be interested in creating and maintaining a module for Linz ? (I have not yet written any documentation but it's a quite easy task).

since i am not a programmer i won't be able to maintain a jar file. also the data on ​​http://data.linz.gv.at is static and the files don't contain any kind of id for each recordset. but if that should change in the future i could forward it to the austrian mailing list. i'm sure that there are some folks that can take care of that.
