I agree, except you and I may be the only two people that have ever done 
this in OSM (assuming you have) :) I can't imagine "the crowd" finding 
interest in this, nor would it seem possible to feed the info back to the 
custodian unless you are an interested party and licensed surveyor.

I've worked with land records to resolve differences between sources of 
street name and boundary data because I find it interesting, but AFAIK 
there are not many like me.

I've occasionally surveyed benchmarks on the ground, mostly for the purpose 
of determining satellite imagery alignment accuracy, and I know that's 
pretty rarely done in OSM, too. I put this information in OSM as proof of 
whatever I was researching, but I certainly am not interested in 
methodically surveying parcels for no reason, and can't imagine others 
would be either.
