From what I understand using TIGER for routing is a bad idea because TIGER
doesn't say which roads are one way, on ramps, off ramps, etc. Could be
potentially dangerous, although very cool regardless. I personally love
this...

"Graphserver will return an itinerary between any two connected vertices,
even if the itinerary is absurd. In this case traveling by bus and foot from
downtown Seattle to deep within the foothills of the Cascade Mountians
involves an eight-hour hike from one of the most remote bus stops in the
county." - http://graphserver.sourceforge.net/img/absurd_route_large.png

Anyone have info when the next release of TIGER is expected, and if it will
have more data to solve some of these routing problems?

Robust at a software level, not so much at a "good answers" level. Using
TIGER for routing is contraindicated.
