That's an explanation of how to convert the tiger fields into OSM
keys.  The only preserved data is:

"The Tiger Line ID (tlid) as well as the TIGER start and end zero-cell
fields, and maybe the raw CFCC should be preserved, just for the hell
of it."

Oh, okay, just for the hell of it.

But as I've shown (http://www.openstreetmap.org/browse/way/44945783)
the tlids don't even make sense.  "tiger:tlid =
86486485:86486486:86486387;
86507262:86489492:86507324:86490164:86489590:86489573:86490037:86489467:86490875:86490202:86499582:86497723:86486483:86486384:86486386:86520528:86520529:86489713:86489637:86489612:86489601"?
 Just for that short little bridge?  This info should be right (which
means *one* tlid) or it shouldn't be there at all.  We shouldn't keep
this crap around "just for the hell of it".
