A feature I suggested for routing apps was a mode that you could use if
you had to get from A to B but not in a hurry. It would treat places
that had errors as less costly in terms of routing, so that routes would
be biased towards them. It's usually quite easy for a routing algorithm
detect no name streets and FIXMEs and cost them lower.

Then have the UI signal you when you reach an error and let you leave a
voice note for yourself to be able to correct the error later.

It should also let you leave voice notes, and start recording a track,
when your GPS lock is good (low HDOP) but you are not close enough to a
way that it knows about.

Good idea. Done.

I've never used historical, but it's listed on Map Features, where 
source=historical is "from out-of-copyright mapping or other historical 
document"

I've included that and NPE/extrapolation source tags because they 
indicate features that might benefit from an on the ground survey.

Could you put this list on the web page?

Why are the source errors not acceptable to you? I believe NPE & 
extrapolation are valid.

I've never like historical as a tag or key. It's an adjective & is 
therefore subjective.

This is great.  Is there a generic page that will take a GPX file (or the URI
of one) and show the points overlayed on a slippy map?

I've done something similar to this:
http://www.mappage.org/error/

Enter a set of co-ordinates and it will produce a GPX file containing
waypoints of all the issues it finds.

At the time of writing, it flags up:
Motorways, trunk, primary and secondary roads without a "ref" tag
Various things without names
Shops etc without opening hours
Anything with "source" set to "extrapolation", "NPE" or "historical"
Anything with a "FIXME" tag
Any node with "naptan:verified=no"
Any way with "highway=road"
