Just had a play with iD in my local High Street. 

First edit was a minor one to tidy up a spurious line, iD made no
attempt to change any other objects.

Second edit was to add a tactile paving tag to one of the zebra
crossings, it warned me that a marked crossing has outdated tags and
wanted to loose valuable information. which I declined but it is easy
to see how an inexperienced mapper could be coerced into making such a
change.

As you say marked is undocumented, and zebra is documented.
