For these cases open a ticket describing the exact case and your 
suggestion to fix it. Usually these tickets are fixed very fast except 
there is no clear indication that it really is a bug (i.e. if there are 
different opinions what is right).

An attached patch also helps :-)

E.g. a lot of "unknown tags" especially in relations could be fixed by 
more relation presets.
