The source tag isn't very reliable in general, I know I tend to (if at
all) use source=foo on ways where I have only derived the geometry
from "foo" (e.g. imagery) and the attributes from local knowledge.
Sometimes I'll use source=foo on a POI where I obtained the attributes
from "foo" and the position was derived from nearby streets.
In some specific cases it may be reliable though. In an import of UMP
data in Poland we have been removing the source=UMP tag precisely to
mark objects that are no longer derived from UMP in any way.
Cheers
