Another clarification for this use case:
A user changes the original highway name tag from "Main St SW" to "SW 
Main Street", but did not alter the tiger tags.

So - if the street name has been edited and the tiger tags were left 
unchanged (and now do not match the street name), the bot will not 
change the street name value, correct? In other words, the tiger tags 
will not override anything in the highway:name tag if its been edited, 
correct?
