I appreciate the potential pitfalls with automatic expansion - in 
general, I would not be in favor. I'll give it a try on my local machine 
with this particular small region I downloaded.

About this tiger:reviewed -- what specifically needs to be reviewed for 
this tag to be removed? I have personally never removed a 
tiger:reviewed. Is this something that could be a JOSM builtin function 
or plugin?
