Yes, that's exactly the issue.

Exactly how how would it do that? As you point out, the various sources we find generally support various elements in the tag, and in differing degrees. So exactly how might the notes be placed in the output to reflect that some sources support some elements, some support another, and others support more than one element? To me, that's the key to making the suggestion work, and I've seen no proposal for how that might happen.

Isn't that the way most everyone does it now?
