Isn't this (using an sens:nhk tag instead of just sens) analogous to
the way you already handle frequency-of-use tags?  Those are also
kept independent by source allowing the user or frontend app to
make their own judgements on the validity of each source.
Merging info from multiple sources into a single tag throws away
information and once its gone, its gone.

I would love to see vastly more cross-references in general.
