I'm all for specifying elevation of mountain peaks etc in other datum which may work better than WGS:84. I think it's better to specify which datum the value is in, it'll be a nightmare over time working out which datum the original mapper intended as new datums are rolled out and are upgraded,

I've been using mtb:scale:imba on any kind of trail where signage at the site notes an IMBA rating, in this way it's verifiable based on the sign. I don't know what "bikepark" and "north shore" mean here but while some of these trails which have an IMBA rating can be consider together as part of a
