Maybe 80% of what I'm adding are residential roads, so what I do is make 
a way with
   highway=residential
   name=xx (I mean that literally, two x's)
   source=survey
then copy it, either select my untagged ways and Paste Tags 
(SHIFT+CTRL+V) or do that as I go along. Then all I have to do is change 
the name for each one based on my audio notes. Even when it isn't 
residential, I find it quicker to start with this and change than to 
apply it individually. Also, I can check for ways I've missed by 
searching for xx before upload - though the checker can kind of do this, 
it includes everything, not just the things I've been working on.
