Think more on the LPI request for acknowledgement.. how about putting it 
on the source tag?
For example ...
source=Land and Property Information NSW Australia, December 2015 by 
Warin61

It includes the name for the source, the date of entry and by who. Bit 
long!
Could Land and Property Information NSW Australia be abbreviated to LPI 
NSW Australia? It is their web URL, google finds it nicely.

Why?
the name gives you where it came from
the date gives you when
the author gives you who

Some may say;
a) the date should be the date of the data ... the 'common' mapper may 
not know that .. may get it wrong. So use what they will know and get right.
b) you can get this from the history ... yes and no. Yes from the 
original entry, No if someone changes it from the original and uses the 
same data source name but with updated data .. what changes in the 
source tag? Nothing?

I might put this on the OSM Golgafrincham B arc list otherwise called 
the OSM tagging list../.

Have a good (mapping) Xmass all. /
