From my QA work - No they dont. 

When the editor allows something people do it - And as OSM
is pretty much without rules people do whatever they like.

Even when told that something is wrong mappers still decide to continue
as it "looks better" or "feels right" or random explanation.
If you put stuff like this into the editors, nagging people
about violations it slowly begins to get better (After a flood
of complains about the validator be to to strict)

For me as a Software Developer FIXME is much more common than fixme,
so for me the first would be natural. I have myself always used
note=fixme ...
