Hehe. I don't see why we should discourage a high level of detail.
Users can decide for themselves what they want to contribute, as long
as they annotate
What I'm saying is, when a new user (using this interface) sees the
map they would assume that the POI/business establishment are not yet
in the "map". They would then add the info knowing it's not yet
there.

If the highway-tag was the only tag on a road, I would agree with this

It looks like its a mashed form of the standard decimal Lat Lons.
Assuming your conversion is correct:
Replace the letter with a decimal point.
If S or W place a - before the first set of digits for that coordinate.
Swap the pair of coordinates around, so the northing is first, as is
more common.
