I in fact even proposed incorporating a system that makes this

Unfortunately, my suggestion in that thread didn't gain traction.
It's great to have an idea, but it still needs the magic development
pixies to do something to turn it into reality :-)
Until such point as that happens, I think that it's definitely worth
"overdoing" the contents of notes rather than "underdoing" it. It might
feel boring writing the same text every time (but cut-and-paste is
cheap, of course), but someone coming across just one note won't be
aware of the context.
Hyperlinks from notes work, so I'd:
o hyperlink the OSM item that is in question
o hyperlink the analysis that showed that this value might be an outlier
(either on this list, or on a wiki page, or somewhere else)
o hyperlink the current state of usage of a particular name or tag in
taginfo (which may change before the note is actioned, of course)
o make it clear that the "correct" value for the item is what is found
from survey, and that you've added a note because a previous survey may
have made a mistake (or a company has changed its branding nationally).
Cheers,
Andy
