I did put my hand up for a tag which is automatically applied for those of us 
who forget it ;) If I have a background layer up it automatically adds that tag 
to each object. If I'm selecting stuff from another source then that gets added. 
ALL of this could well be in one change set, and in fact I may switch between 
bing and OS layers simply to add other details, so a 'changeset' tag would not 
be suitable? But AUTOMATICALLY adding that data per object would mean that it 
does get added :)

Of cause I still object to a lot of this stuff being 'free format' ... a 
'layer_id' on these tags would be fine, and then the rest of the details are 
pulled up from that!
