[Tagging] Estimated values for height

[Sergio Manzi]

... but on the other hand your estimation *can *be seen as "/the instrument used/", so I'm in no way against using /metric/:source=estimate.

The only gotcha could happen when you have to import a measure from on official source (/and you want to indicate it/) and... the official source has stated that the measurement is an estimation. It can happen. It's actually happening...

If you "/eyeballed/" or, as we say in Italy, "/measured by spans/", you could instead indicate metric:accuracy=estimated.
