Indeed. If a building has source=basemap.at (or bing etc.) and then someone 
adds other tags, the source tag is incorrect for these other tags.

If source tags are needed on a feature for some reason, better use 
source:geometry or similar.

No, basemap.at is older. It's probably the collection of the oldest data we 
have ever seen. It seems that the street names originated from the same data 
source as of plan.at. A good test for this is Severusgasse in Hainburg. 
There is a road that never ever existed in the real world. All of these data 
collections inherited that bogus road.

Shape and placement of buildings is also quite poor on basemap.at. It is 
obvious that an import for only one village requires more overall work than 
just drawing the buildings manually using geoimage.at.

But, of course, this can be considered as a test run, with the intention to 
import buildings for other villages too, or even for all buildings in 
Austria... This would get us quickly a lot of data, with quantity 
compensating for quality, like plan.at import.
