Sure, I understand. But as Pieren points out, it's not always assured
the mappers will fix the tags. In a project I recently worked on that
involved merging data manually, using Potlatch 2[1], there were some
incorrect tags in the source data, which I hadn't initially realised.
It would be nice to think the mappers corrected everything before
saving, but even now there are dozens of cycleway:left=Lane (with a
capital L) in OSM. These things happen, so just be careful with the
fixme tags.

Cheers,
Andy
