I think this discussion and previous ones about this topic
demonstrates one point : sourcing in OSM will never be perfect.
Because we have elements with history from multiple contributors and
with attributes from multiple sources. Because we cannot expecte
people to always have a single source per changeset. Because we cannot
expect people to always insert or update the tag source each time they
modify something.
