and then what is this info good for? just because someone claims it's correct? is it correct then? more correct than data with the tag set to no? can you give a single example where this info is helping? the tiger data is terrible wrong in some places. it's more important to fix the data instead of spending time on a useless tag. and what is correct in a project like osm? correct name, all attributes, the location. correct location? accuracy +/- 1km, 1m, 1cm?
All fair questions, but the obvious notion to me is "good enough compared to the published OSM accuracy standards" :-) More seriously, I've deleted a few erroneous ways and moved one in my town from massgis, but the other 99.8% are clearly close enough so I would just delete the tags as I notice they're ok driving by. it make editing with josm a real pain. there are 2 solutions. delete it on all ways as soon as data is downloaded to get rid of it or hack the josm source. both isn't too difficult for an experienced josm user but why should anyone need to? I'm in Mass which has the higher-quality MassGIS data which doesn't really need the reviewed:no tag for way locations, so I haven't noticed this. But Mass has unreviewed tags for oneway directions because MassGIS knows ways are one-way but apparently buys routing data they couldn't share -- and thus half of those are wrong (until fixed), so they really do need reviewing/fixing. Having them be highlighted would be cause me to notice/fix more of them. Perhaps there should just be a view option "highlight unreviewed objects", and those that like this can turn it on and those that don't can not.
