I wonder if there are other automated edits and imports from public
copyright that should be exempted but haven't been.

For instance, a Red-tagged way in my area (that NE2 edited later) was
imported by 'bemasc' ('Undecided')
http://www.openstreetmap.org/browse/way/27844130/history
with v1 attribution = Office of Geographic and Environmental Information
(MassGIS)
source = massgis_import_v0.1_20071009101959
which to me says it was created from the dataset we have permission to keep.
(Mass would be denuded if we retracted all MASSGIS imports, since that was
preferred source here not Tiger. Ben's was not the id used for most such.
Odd.)
