i've determined that a lot of the NY/PA border heading west from the Delaware has issues where no one bothered to break up and share the ways. and i've seen a lot of early work which we would now consider mistagged. this all sort of plays together...
the ways in borders should probably not have any tags at all. early borders frequently have a bunch of tags (type, admin level, source). but ways can be in more than one border relation and for rendering purposes they derive their appearance from the relations that contain them. relations should have the standard core tags, but they should not have the mess of TIGER: tags they got from early imports and they should not have source tags. source tags go on the changeset (i have not been entirely consistent about this myself and i apologize for that before anyone calls me on it.) using URLs for sources turns out to be kind of useless, as things move around on the net. a clear text description is better: source=TIGER 2013 NY Places Shapefile
