FDC NOTAM for SFO amends an altitude on an RNAV STAR:FDC 5/0051 SFO STAR SAN FRANCISCO INTL; SAN FRANCISCO; CA. DYAMDTWO ARRIVAL (RNAV) CHANGE ALTITUDE RESTRICTION AT ARCHI TO READ:8000. ALL OTHER DATA REMAINS AS PUBLISHED.Having a critical crossing altitude on a heavily used arrival procedure amended via NOTAM with no other ATC notification; while legal; is inadvisable. This is evidenced by reported violations of the NOTAMed altitude in a recently released [aviation organization] Safety Briefing.Until proper charts can be published with the correct altitude; it would be advisable to either rescind the NOTAM or include information about the amended altitude restriction on the ATIS of airports affected by this change.
A pilot reported he was concerned with an SFO arrival crossing restriction appearing in NOTAM form but not yet charted.
