Others have told about the form already so no more comments on that.
Just few words that something like that would be quite useful for
various machines. Although I do have my favourite ZP locations on the
64, I (f.e.) had to spend a good amount of time searching for safe ZP
locations when I started something more serious on the 1541. When I
jump to do some porting to PET - I will surely like to have a reliable
info resource like that - with explanations as you mentioned.
Short answer: yes!
