Please don't import wrong data in the official online osm database.
If everyone of the hundreds of thousands of osm mappers inroduces some 
tags for 'only for testing', the database would become unusable in 
shortest time.

As others have written before me, you can download a region of interest 
and modify the osm file locally.
