Indeed not all flood marks are really old/historic. But that threshold
is probably very fuzzy.
Looking at one of you examples
(https://www.flickr.com/photos/23954094@N05/9701630002) I realized that
Frank (and probably many others) call it "Flood high water marks".
So basic tag for mark could be
flood_mark=(yes, plaque, pole, painted, ...),
just to avoid flood_mark:type=*.
And additionally, features with historical value can get
historic=highwater_mark. Makes it sense?

Great hint - thanks!
