these tags are often not necessary, but sometimes they are indeed helpful.
E.g. if close to a border having the addr:country tag is useful for
practical reasons because country borders used for determining where a
point lies are mostly simplified (you risk of putting the poi in the wrong
country for things that are close to the border).

you are not allowed to automatically delete them either :-)
They are not completely useless, in some situations they are helpful (e.g.
see above)

because you don't need them on all. No tag goes on all objects, also
oneway=no makes sometimes sense, but mostly is not put because not helpful.

you should keep the good ones and improve the bad ones. Generally this is
not possible to do automatically with an import, because you don't know
which version is the better one without surveying it.

this might be another issue. If you want to complain about other imports,
please open a different thread.
