I believe we should restructure the way we use metadata aside with data in the particular tags source and maybe note and fixme (but not description). We are trying to convince people to add source tags on the changesets, but putting them on individual objects still has strong advocates, so we will likely have to live with it. As an idea, the source information could become a subtag of another tag, i.e. rather than being attached to an object it would be attached to a tag (or to the position). This could also become more refined with several, optional formalized source tags, e.g. for the source date, a source link, a source license(?), etc. cheers, Martin
