Hi Andre,

I think that the correct key is survey:date.  KeyMapper 3 also uses it.  
It's a good idea to start including this in my regular edits, I'm going 
to add those as well.  There is added value in it.  I think it's best to 
do this on the changeset but that might go unnoticed when editing, also 
in josm.

But that tag on every object seems like overkill.
