Whether on the changeset or on the object - whichever is most appropriate, automatically adding the current date as survey:date whenever a source=survey is entered could be a nice optional editor functionality.
In addition to current limited adoption (see http://taginfo.openstreetmap.org/keys/date%3Asurvey ) automatically adding "date" tags via the editor doesn't tell you anything that you can't get from the object history after the fact anyway. That also doesn't do anything for the case where you've checked that e.g. "the correct name for a shop is still X". There used to be something at "unexpired.osm24.eu" that could be used to keep track of what you'd checked recently, but it doesn't seem to be working at the moment.
There's probably a "good" solution to the problem waiting to be written (preferably one that doesn't bloat the OSM database - you don't want to create a new version of every item that you check just to add an updated date:survey).
Maybe (thinking out loud here) something that could generate a personal list of shops in a given area as e.g. garmin waypoints, allowing you to change the colour of the waypoint when you've checked a shop in the field. Then back at home a _local_ list is updated with "shop X surveyed on Y date", and that shop isn't generated in the list of "Garmin shops to check" until some defined time in the future? If it helps anyone, you may be able to borrow from https://github.com/SomeoneElseOSM/osmimport_02 which does some of the same things, although it's designed for a different job.
