Only objects with tiger:* tags should be candidates for being red. I'd 
suggest looking for the tiger:county or tiger:name_base tags, since some 
have removed other tiger:* tags but left ones like tiger:cfcc or 
tiger:zip_* for reference.

However, I find another problem. When I split a TIGER-imported way and keep 
the tiger:* tags on it, I end up with what looks like a TIGER way, but 
isn't. It has tiger:*=* and v=1 (or v=2 if I edited it again). However, the 
UID is mine, not balrog-kun or DaveHansenTiger, so filtering for this would 
solve the problem as well.

In summary, I propose to add the following requirements to the existing 
filter for turning a feature red:
- Must have tiger:name_base tag
- UID must be balrog_kun or DaveHansenTiger
