It is already much in use and often used for this purpose. Example from Karlsruhe https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/150939178/history [1] > note = "Baustelle inzwischen beendet - Schienen liegen wieder wie vor > 2012 - Bing 2013 veraltet" Translated into English: > constructions have been finished – tracks have been relocated to the > position where they have been before the constructions (like until > 2012) – Bing 2013 is outdated > Warning: read the following before making any changes to this > object <README text follows> Do you really believe that iD will ever behave like this? iD developers seem to refuse to show warnings to the user.
