"There is a substantial amount of data with no source tag. I'd really like
to
know whether it was traced or surveyed, because then I'd know whether to go
down that street or not."

Liz,

I think there was a recent discussion about this and there was a school of
thought that said that if there
were public gps traces for a way then source=survey was unnecessary.

I'm a serial offender for not adding source=survey tags but if the general
consensus is that it should be added
then I will manually add this tag to any ways that I have edited - I could
take a while though......

I do upload public gps traces for all roads that I tag but I guess that this
is not a guarantee that the resultant way was
properly surveyed.   E.G  I have about 6 thousand miles of interstate traces
in USA that I have stopped
editing in because there is about to be another TIGER ravage.

Eventually someone may use these traces without  knowing if I was actually
driving on the road the whole time.
