It would be very nice to have JOSM add a source tag to the changeset if a WMS layer has been used during editing, though. Would make my life a lot
easier and not forget about those source=yahoo tags.
What if they use GPX files and a WMS layer?

source="survey; yahoo; WMS"


(if we're talking about source tags on ways, nodes and relations)

Please no!  If I'm trying to reconcile a GPS track with an existing
feature that doesn't help me tell if my new track's inaccurate or is a
correction to a previously traced item.  It's far more useful to have
"source=GPS" (or whatever) on each way (and to update them when they get
modified).


I'm not going to waste my time updating a source tag on every node, way or relation that I touch. However I'm happy to add ti to the changeset where it belongs.

The tools can be improved to look up the tags of all the changesets in the history of a particular object. I think that this will give better information as to the sources of the edits over time.
