I wouldn't remove the brand=Caltex because that is the branding of the
service station right? If it's operated by Caltex you can add that tag too.
It's common to see three tags brand, operator, and name all equal to Caltex.

Though for name you might also see things like "Caltex [Suburb]"

Yes,if you've validated the thing the fixme tag was added for you can just
delete the tag.

I prefer to move the single section and add another way parallel, because
it retains the history of the way, but both approaches are valid.
