I thought it could help to have a key which explicitly states that you just 
took a value from somewhere else, which is probably using a reference that is 
regionally typical (i.e. you took a height from a sign, normally you will not 
know which reference is used (sea level of some kind)). When I find signs on 
the ground with height information I’m always reluctant to add the values as 
it’s not clear whether I should transform them and if yes, from where to where. 
The wiki isn’t very clear either. 

When you are making a valid hardcore measurement it would be a pity to throw it 
into “ele” with its unknown specifics, you’d likely want to be more precise (I 
agree ele:datum is fine for this) and a specific tag seems also more save from 
being carelessly modified.
