I appreciate the potential pitfalls with automatic expansion - in general, I

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 :)

how far east did it get run? i saw some failures of a script run over
Nevada Iowa last year (not necessarily the script you're referring to):
http://www.openstreetmap.org/?lat=42.02091&lon=-93.44698&zoom=15&layers=M
the script had converted E Ave to East Avenue, N Ave to North Avenue and
S Ave
to South Avenue, all of which were errors (Nevada avenue names are
single letters.)
About this tiger:reviewed -- what specifically needs to be reviewed for this
tag to be removed? I have personally never removed a tiger:reviewed. Is this
something that could be a JOSM builtin function or plugin?
> From what I have seen, different people use it for different things. 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.
i verify the name, connectivity to the grid, and drive the length of it
(unless it's a short stub which is entirely observable from one end,
which happens in some residential neighborhoods.) generally i do
this with the Hansen/Lambertus Garmin maps loaded up in my
GPS so i have a reference for what's in OSM vs what i'm seeing on
the ground.
lately i've also been getting a value for maxspeed where possible.
generally i get a gps track, although frequently i use bing imagery for
alignment instead these days.
