For all built-in EEG montages, describe whether they're based on idealized or (at least somewhat) realistic coordinates, and whether or not they might be a good idea for source modeling

Description

I think the first step would be to clearly state in each montage's description what the montage is based on (idealized, or realistic coordinates), and whether it's a good or a maybe not so good idea to use it for source modeling.
As I quoted above, EEGLAB has also switched to MNI-based montages when doing dipole fits:
As of 2021, the default channel location file for electrode position is the MNI file, which is best suited for source localization. Before 2021, it was the BESA spherical location file.
