such a tag is entirely useless. tiger data is the best example.
- everyone can delete, copy, change tags
- any tag can be changed
- some mappers will follow the advice others will not, found a tiger  
way yesterday which was transformed into a portion of the coastline  
and added the coastline tag but kept most tiger tags.

at the end this creates just more confusion. no application can rely  
on a reviewed=no tag
If you ask mappers to actively add a source=* or reviewed=* tag then  
there is at least a higher chance it is there for a reason.
