And yet Richard, Greg, and Dale all said that removing tiger:reviewed=no implies pretty much two things: the name is right (more or less) and the location is right (more or less). I think that perhaps we can agree on that. so it's (more or less) use(ful or less) But I also think that we

Does anybody object to this? If not, I'll look at inserting special case code which removes tiger:reviewed when the way or any node it solely includes is edited in any way. I'm also not in favor of automatic tag removing, for the same reason - any change does not imply adequately
