This has been done in the past like the unnecessary tiger data
cleanup, e.g. http://www.openstreetmap.org/changeset/3603919

Hum, simplifying borders will put many elements into the wrong
polygon/country, not only adresses. (then we could find
"maxspeed=DE:rural"'s in France ;-) A real use-case would be helpful
here. I guess the tool simplifying the borders could also add the
"addr:country" automagically at the same time... Anyway, you cannot
expect that normal "manual" contributors will add the "addr:country"
to all addreses only when it's close to a boundary and just because
some data consumer could potentially simplify this border.
