I've just realised that rather many nodes have their own source tag, even

large part of the data consists of these source tags. While this isn't a
problem for files (thanks to compression) it enlarges the database quite a bit.
Are these tags really necessary or could they be remove as long as the way
has a source tag? Could anybody provide an estimate how much space
reduction could be gained? Could anybody create a report on how many nodes
have identical tags as their way?
Do you have an example?
I tag intersections of ways as I survey them with source=*, source_ref=*
among other things, like signalling, turn restrictions, etc. Sometimes, the
source value is the same as that of the way, but that is only coincidental
- it's not a duplication.
