values should default to a known unit, like meters for elevation. 

I don’t enter m with an elevation value ( ele=3776 ), because the tag says it 
is in meters. Even though I am an American and still think in 
feet/inches/acres/miles, I read thr wiki and tag info in iD - which states it 
is in meters.

temperature should be the same. 

Get the tagging programs to display a note with the tag, and it is super-easy 
to understand the unit for the tag.
