JOSM, P2 and iD should all remove UUID tags automatically when modifying an object. I normally remove NHN/NRN attribution tags because they duplicate the source tag. For source, I try to consider if the source tag will be helpful to the next mapper. If all I did was a topology fix or something small I'll probably leave it, but if I was out there, verified the name and refined the position, I'll probably remove the source tag as it's no longer accurate. It depends if I feel that the source tag still accurately represents the source. Note that this is not a legal distinction about derivative works, there are no legal issues which prevent the removal of any tag, it is purely what is useful to have tagged. _______________________________________________ Talk-ca mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-ca
