Tagging the change set is against the data source is a must.
But I think that a simple 'read-only' tag that automatically identifies the base 
data set is something that is making sense to me. On each object, since looking 
down change set history to find it does not make sense?

This would at least allow editors to issue warnings when a change is made to 
detail provided from a 'trusted' source. The 'squaring up' buildings hit a raw 
nerve with me simply because I DO have to take care of the non-squareness of 
many structures around here and it's those sorts of tidies that could cause more 
problems! - even in the French data?

Being able to pull up an overlay of the original source data when a warning is 
created would also be helpful.
