(if we're talking about source tags on ways, nodes and relations)

Please no!  If I'm trying to reconcile a GPS track with an existing 
feature that doesn't help me tell if my new track's inaccurate or is a 
correction to a previously traced item.  It's far more useful to have 
"source=GPS" (or whatever) on each way (and to update them when they get 
modified).

Cheers,
