I don't have an example off-hand. I'm not enough of a JOSM searching 
whiz to come up with some examples and the OSM postgres database I have 
doesn't have all the tiger tags. If you look around Broward and 
Miami-Dade counties in FL I am sure you will find some examples.

I just know that with my own editing habits, if I change a name tag that 
originally had unedited tiger info, I do not change the tiger: tags 
(sometimes I delete them). So I am concerned about using the tiger tags 
to over-ride changes that have been made to the name tag.
