+1, and one for every node (e.g. of a way). Many mappers put source tags on
the ways with something like "bing", because they don't realize that the
geometry information is mainly on the node. Moving a node won't change the
way's version (but might change significantly the way's geometry). If you
do advocate source-tags on object, please put them on the right object ;-)

cheers,
