[Talk-us] Blame me for JOSM yellowness

Good idea.  (I would personally prefer to be configurable.  Sometimes I
align a road from aerial photo but want to remind myself to actually visit
it later because something in the photo is unclear, so I leave it at
reviewed=no.)

There are two things I do currently to help in the cleanup: search and
presets.

In JOSM, you can search on the word "modified" and it will select all
items you modified.  Select the tiger:reviewed tag and delete it.  If any
of the modified items didn't have the tag, it doesn't hurt anything.   And
of course, you can select a rectangular region on the screen and do the
same tag edit.

I also made myself some JOSM tag presets and stick them on the main button
bar.  In each one, I set the tiger:reviewed value to blank, which will
delete the tag if it is there.  Here are some examples of mine:

<presets>
  <item name="T_Rvw">
      <label text="Flag as Tiger data reviewed" />
      <key key="tiger:reviewed" value="" />
  </item>
  <item name="Svc_Drvwy">
      <label text="Flag as service=driveway" />
      <key key="highway" value="service" />
      <key key="service" value="driveway" />
      <key key="tiger:reviewed" value="" />
  </item>
  <item name="M_link">
      <label text="Flag as h=motorway_link,oneway=yes" />
      <key key="highway" value="motorway_link" />
      <key key="oneway" value="yes" />
      <key key="tiger:reviewed" value="" />
  </item>

and so on.

So before uploading:

<Ctrl-F>modified<Enter><Click T_Rview><Enter>

I wonder if I can shorten that even more?  Hmm...
