Why not the source tag? If it indicates survey or local knowledge
instead of or as well as remote imagery, credibility is improved.

I think a two tiered system would work well. Officialverified=yes
perhaps? I don't think rendering is an issue. Certainly I've seen JOSM
used to render or view maps on a lap top for an area. I was quite
surprised but the person said an off line map was easily searchable and
you could select and see all the tags.

A fundamental problem is that the current road/path tagging scheme
does not distinguish between:
•"rough" tagging used for remote mapping during activations, and
•"detailed" tagging based on local knowledge.
Current tags are used for both, which leads to confusion since the
custom "activation" definition may differ somewhat from the
"permanent" definition. Also, there is future confusion since the
level of detail (local knowledge) is not recorded.
A 2-tier scheme could solve that, with separate tags for "rough"
tagging, and "detailed" tags based on local knowledge.
Another solution would be a separate tag recording the level of
certainty or verification, but a 2-tier scheme might be easier to
manage and to render.
