Possible, but what about the simpler rule "only act on nodes when source 
is either unset or begins with "tiger_import_dch"? (This rule would 
exclude a whopping 910 nodes from the 172 million we are considering.)

Another option would be to completely exclude every node that has been 
touched after the import (i.e. operate only on those with the pristine 
version number 1). That would exclude 4 million nodes from the operation 
(and leave 168 million to work on). On the downside, that would probably 
be a bit too conservative and leave some superfluous tags in place, 
especially where maybe a node has just been moved and the tags not 
changed at all. But then again, 4 million is nothing in the grand scheme 
of things and we could still think about those later.


Bye
Frederik
