IMHO it's already too late ;-)
This should have been a proposal when you first set up the page, now there
are some 600 uses which are in line with the key definition
https://taginfo.openstreetmap.org/keys/message#values
and there are references on other tag pages like the one for advertising.
By now I'd see this tag as somehow introduced.

Anyway, thank you for pointing it out. I wouldn't worry too much, if there
isn't much criticism coming now, you can consider the tag approved by
usage, many tags have been introduced like this.

Regarding the tag itself: I don't like the tag name very much, because
"message" is very generic for what is intended for a specific use case
(type of message of an advertising device).

Cheers,
Martin
