I'd use the source tag on the highest level features, i.e. if a node belongs to a way or relation then I'd only put the source tag there and not on the node, same for ways and relations that are members of other relations. This should be enough for another mapper who comes along and wonders if his data is of better accuracy to be able to tell the source. > 2) Most layers imported I think will be none or few existing data, but some > (like bicycle_parking) will have a fair few duplicates. The normal thing to do is load the new file into JOSM, load existing data from OSM onto the same layer or a separate layer, then remove duplicates, merge tags etc etc. (for example your imported data for a building may have way better geometry, but fewer attributes such as name, height, access, so copy the tags onto the imported shape and remove the original building). Then merge the two layers and upload. If the imported file is too big to load into JOSM, split it with osmosis.
