Ref Mick's last comment - a couple of thoughts / questions:

1) We will have an opportunity to shape tagging policy a little more
tightly than the greater OSM tagging canon. I'm looking forward to that.
Not saying we'll get to the right answer immediately, but we could start
somewhere & see how it works.

2) What do people think about eventually enforcing/strongly encouraging use
of certain tags - e.g. date-related, source, anything else? I'm thinking of
simple JOSM rules/validations looking for the presence of tags. We could
also put some rules directly into the API...
