I see lots of (for example) "source=bing" which likely imply traced by a mapper as seen on aerial imagery from Bing (but it could also mean she imported the object from data released by Bing, or based on a website found through bing, etc.), and his tag is completely worthless if I don't look at the history to see which things have been modified or added or deleted in the changeset that introduced the tag, and I must also verify that all edits that came later didn't change these things (and the mapper simply kept the source tag without updating it).
