Sorry, I don't know what you're asking for here. Which of the four tags mentioned in http://lists.openstreetmap.org/pipermail/dev/2009-June/016009.html do you want to keep? Bear in mind that none of the nodes actually exist in TIGER data, unlike the ways which have a tiger/line-id to link them between datasets. > I say this because I found the TIGER data wasn't entirely useless: a few > months back I was able to process it to add is_in information to places and > county and state info, all in our more conventional form, and which will > allow searches to operate much more effectively in the future (when the > namefinder eventually reloads it all). Again, I'm not really sure what you're wanting to do here. I assume you are populating "is_in" tags with county and state information - that can be done using county polygons. I don't think it needs every node in the US tagged with the county just in case we need an is_in tag for that node. Unless I'm missing your point?
