...and please try to make this obvious to others, particularly by removing 
the tiger:reviewed=no tag on TIGER import ways. This causes them to render 
differently in most editors, and are an indicator that someone is tending 
to the area.

P.S. It would be nice if someone would fix the bug 
(https://josm.openstreetmap.de/ticket/5774) that crept into JOSM that keeps 
removal of such tags via presets from working.
