I would suggest to put attribution in the changeset; you can then be 
very specific without filling up the database with vast amounts of 
duplicated data. Plus, if a way is later changed manually by someone, 
they often forget to remove or amend the "source" tag if it is placed on 
the way.

The current TIGER changes are a different matter though; there, import 
and attribution information is removed from the nodes because it is 
already on the ways.
