So a simple option would be to go for something like "changed claim - some 
property (P42): 51 km"? It might be nice to say "changed claim - some property 
(P42):  41 km -> 51 km", so that both the old and new options can be quickly 
seen in the edit summary.

This would be a bad idea since it would stop people from easily correcting 
incorrect values, and it's kind of arbitrary. E.g., what would keep someone 
from changing "100km" to "10mm"? (unless there were more constraints applied, 
and that way lies the rabbit hole...)
