[OSM-dev] Deleting TIGER node tags

Can I suggest that an ID is maintained in a single tag to reference the 
original data that would allow it to be extracted from possibly another 
database.

I say this because I found the TIGER data wasn't entirely useless: a few 
months back I was able to process it to add is_in information to places 
and county and state info, all in our more conventional form, and which 
will allow searches to operate much more effectively in the future (when 
the namefinder eventually reloads it all).
