There was a script. It is even in the OSM svn: http://trac.openstreetmap.org/browser/applications/utils/import/tiger2osm/expand It was run on the western US although it does seem to have missed a few (probably just failed uploads or something) I wrote a blog post about this :) http://ksmapper.blogspot.com/2011/05/main-attraction.html > About this tiger:reviewed -- what specifically needs to be reviewed for this > tag to be removed?

I have seen some people who seem to do a CTRL-A in JOSM before they upload and remove all the tiger:reviewed tags. I personally only remove it if I have traveled down the road with a GPS device running. Some people change it from "no" to "aerial" after they have aligned it to imagery.
