True, and the opinion is the user's opinion at the time of the survey. You
can suggest a default re-check date for the type of feature (might also be
empty) and leave it up to the user to accept or change that.

It's a historic fact, but it doesn't drive any plan.

I think you are thinking code in the app, not maintaining a bunch of
features such as 35000 routes or all the Stolpersteine in the area

The difference is the determination of X. It's feature and
opinion-dependent. Checking/displaying due checks is very simple, and
doesn't have to know anything, just compare the tag with the date, and all
pop up.

As a maintaining mapper, I would set the future check_date at entry time.

Your plan sounds fine, but it will not be of much use to me. I still have
to maintain an agenda and listst for checks in the future. If a
future check mechanism were in place, I'd simply display a check map, just
like a map showing all notes or all fixme's.
