I actually would prefer that the tiger:* tags were removed from those 
nodes, since they are indeed not useful, though I suppose I could just do 
this myself fairly simply.

The biggest problem with TIGER in my area is position of the nodes. I've 
moved thousands. I would not want them excluded (and continue to have lower 
performance) simply because they were moved. I vote to hit those nodes too.
