   For armchair mapping, the only thing that might be safe is that new 
TIGER is more accurate than old TIGER.   But any such TIGER comparison 
must not override a previous correction from a mapper (who should also 
remove the tiger:reviewed=no to help notify other mappers that the name 
is derived from a survey or local knowledge).

   For best results, name comparison should only flag differences 
against unedited or bot-edited TIGER ways.
