Hello again, Martijn:  This might not be a perfect fit, but perhaps helpful.  I 
(and others) have refined how TIGER data for rail in the USA might or should be 
"Reviewed" (cleaned up over the long term) at

https://wiki.osm.org/wiki/United_States/Railroads#Editing_Railroads_starting_from_TIGER_data

Like TIGER data themselves, this is rather rough, but it has proven to "get the 
job done," even as it might do so slowly.

If you could make a similar write-up (text-based instructions of your workflow 
to clean up TIGER data, whether roads, rail or whatever) that gets shared 
widely, I think many people might find that helpful.  It is the experience of 
what people do and how they do it that makes for this sort of transfer of 
experience at "how to map" quite successful in OSM.  I've seen it, it works and 
people tend to not only like it, they sort of crave it.

"When the student is ready, the teacher arrives."  Sometimes this is a "live 
streaming JOSM editing session," (great!), sometimes it's a "here are the steps 
of my workflow, read them, re-create them at your own pace, I hope you can 
learn from my examples."

You never know!

Thank you for offering your "streaming JOSM" session, it's a great idea,
SteveA
