How about starting a convention of using a tag "fixme:survey_needed"
with the details in the value string?

The only other subtype of fixme that I can think of immediately would
be "fixme:incomplete", for long / hard-to-spot linear features such as
powerlines (where I've seen someone else was using fixme=incomplete
and have tried to follow that convention myself).

I like the idea of extending the NONAME layer to report fixmes, and if
we used a convention like fixme:survey_needed we could have a distinct
map symbol for that.
