I'm a shiny new inexperienced guy here, but I tend to agree with this for what that's worth. I saw someone else suggest applying "ele:status=estimated" for the GNIS-derived elevation tags. I would also suggest that it's possible some of those "ele=" tags might potentially have been added or corrected previously, so this process would remove those tags with the GNIS ones, right? (Or am I mistaken about them getting removed? Like I said, I'm "shiny new"...) In any case, my personal opinion is that having "rough" elevation data is better than having none at all.
