I used estimated_accuracy=* or gps_accuracy=* a couple of times, but I doubt that it prevents other mappers from moving or even deleting them. Some use editors like Potlatch, so they are not aware of tags. Some do thousands of edits, all of which are validator based "corrections". They do not ask nor think nor look at tags, except at those reported by the validator. -- Friedrich K.
