Every changeset has a date automatically added to it, if your survey is
much earlier than the data you make the edit maybe it's worth noting the
difference.

I'm minded to start adding
survey:date=
to some of my mapping (if you can call climbing over a stile surveying
it). I've noticed on repeat visits that things do change quite a lot,
and I can't guarantee to go back and keep everything I map up to date.
But I'm puzzled by the wiki, which says:
"This key should only be used when providing the survey date would be
of some value to the OSM community, for example if the survey date
occurred a reasonable amount of time in the past."
Surely end users of the map are just as likely to want to check the
date of something shown on the map as the "OSM community", which I
assume means mappers?
And what is a "reasonable amount of time in the past", and starting
from when? It doesn't make sense. If I survey and map something now,
and it is still on the map in 10 years time, I need to have put the
date on it now.
