This seems to be the case.  The code checks for "tiger:name_base", and
if it can't find it, then it doesn't make any changes.

(Can someone confirm this?
http://www.openstreetmap.org/browse/way/16011770 will be untouched,
right?)

If so, this is good, but it does mean that road names are going to get
out of sync, if, for instance, tiger:name_base was removed from some
of the ways and not removed from others.  This will complicate later
fixes/enhancements.
