+1 to Richard's suggestion odbl=clean<br>

Just a tiny little clarification - this isn't something I've dreamed up,<br>
it's a real live tag with 9,000 occurrences in the database already, and<br>
which is being used by status visualisations such as OSM Inspector. :)<br>

Yes, the trouble is when Frederik pointed this out and referred to the
page, it says it is for cases where the suspect edit has been wiped
out, not simply verified from other sources. How can you change the
name from itself to itself and actually have changed anything?<br>
<br>
If odbl=clean is OK for this then that's great, but I am troubled that
I may go to a lot of trouble to deal with these and then find they get
removed anyway. The lack of clear direction is very frustrating (as is
the apparent need to do more work than necessary). It would be so much
easier if we knew for sure what the rules actually are.<span

That is pretty much my point also. I will do the necessary work when
there is a stable and reasonable description of what that work is and
is not and I have confidence that the description is stable.<br>
<br>
Hearing that there is disagreement on what the (as yet undocumented)
odbl=clean tag means and how it should be used doesn't excite me to do
the work yet! To help the process along I have created an simple
article for odbl=clean here:<br>

Thanks, I can use that to publicise it. So, we need to a bandwagon and
better closure on when/how to use. On the technical side I see it
appearing in OSMI graphs at <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://tools.geofabrik.de/osmi/munin.html">http://tools.geofabrik.de/osmi/munin.html</a>
so assume we are cool on writing a technical rule for it and that in
the rebuild it is a simple matter of just ignoring the specific
node/way/relation ... I'd feel better with more informed technical
corroboration though, I am out of my depth here.<br>
