Sounds like tagging for the renderer to me.
There is a elevation tag already defined and in wide spread use. And it is
pretty easy for a renderer to show that in addition to the name. And even
convert it from meters to feet when doing the rendering. I do this when
rendering my personal use Topo maps.
