I think there is a slight problem in that for operational use you need a trusted source and HOT as it stands with new mappers using iD isn't really that.
I would suggest that one way to make it a little more bullet proof would be to include a tag, website perhaps that pointed to a read only web site under someone's control that confirmed the location and attributes. There are other methods encryption would be one, two key public and private. The site would get a benediction and a encrypted key with location and attributes would be added that way you wouldn't need an internet connection. There are actually a number of places where this would be of value in OSM so if we can come up with a process it could be applied a little more generally.
