Would the existing accepted tags of

man_made=survey_point
name=foo
ref=bar

Work?

That is what I have used for survey pillars in the past.

ref= is already defined as a tag for a node, to add a new reference tag
within a namespace seems likely to confuse.

If we create this new geodesy namespace, do we need to remove/change the
existing survey_point tag?
