1. psma:loc_pid. Where this is a stable ID that is used as a reference, the existing ref tag is better for this. If we want to be more specific then ref:psma or something like that would work. No need to invent new tags here when one already exists, is well documented and in widespread use.

I've never really considered these to be more than tagging for dataset maintainers, I didn't really think that any data consumers would want to use these. I would not put these under ref=* as they aren't really references that end users would see.

The two options would be:
1. the ref: namespace or
2. ref:AU: namespace which is similar to what the FR community seems to use:

Any opinions?

If this is how people would like to tag these types of ids I would also have to go back and modify all of the others I have created over the years.

2. Regarding source tags on objects, this might be something I added originally, I can't remember, but I'm on the fence about it.

The majority view at the time that we discussed this was to add a source tag. I understand that the source tag does have a decay function as to it's usefulness but it's still better than changeset tagging, which become useless the moment you upload the data. Maybe if Overpass could search for something based on the changeset tags of the last modifying changeset they would be useful, but till that tag I prefer to have them in-channel.

If the general view is now that adding a source tag is not worthwhile then we can leave them out.

The "import" upload should immediately be correct and not a broken state until post-import changes clean things up, it should be uploaded clean in the first instance.

I agree with you 100%. The reason the current workflow has us deleting the outer ways before uploading is because this is what you wanted:

I'm happy to upload valid boundaries which is what I suggested:
