Thanks for the comment.
1. "small in nature" is meant to cover most of the submissions. The Texas Historical Society manages many of the ones here in Texas that I am thinking about and they are not exactly small but they cover many of the sites I am targeting.
Another example is the Judge Roy Bean visitors center. This is managed by the Texas Department of Transportation. Another great location for a Historical Site.
2. The State Historic sites and register would be the primary target for this category. While some will also fit on the National Register of Historic Places most will not. I believe that most of the postings will be obvious. Cross posting will happen no matter what. Like the recent Smithsonian Outdoor Sculptures there is cross posting but many more are being covered than were already posted. For example here in Ft Worth there are 63 outdoor sculptures in the Smithsonian data base yet less than 15 had been waymarked. Now a major portion of these are waymarked under the Smithsonian category.
3. I believe the global test is easy. Again my experience in the UK while there with the B-24 aircraft showed me many places, such as the old airfields, that have their own groups set up to pass on the history of the site.
4. I understand you can find a "home" for a lot of these but this category will provide a direct home without fudging. I believe that if there is an "obvious" site for this grouping then people will be less likely to try and expand the requirements of other categories to get one to fit.
