[talk-au] Australian Historical Maps (Was: Re: 'Break in' the list)

[80n]

The general convention for source and source_ref, when they refer to the
name tag is to use source:name and source_ref:name as the tags.

So, you might have:

highway=primary
source=Yahoo!
name=High Street
source:name=DOL 1917
source_ref:name=GPS:http://www.sl.nsw.gov.au/online/maps.cfm

In other words, qualify the source tag by suffixing it with the attribute it
refers to.
