The INFO level is essentially unusable, because too many valid keys do not
appear in JOSM's presets.

However, adding to the mistake checkfile could help a little:
   hight
   denonation
   naem
   nota
Along with warnings about colons greater than two, and keys length less
than four, etc.

Putting warnings inline with the tag editor could help a little.
I'd also like to see that area used for warning about tags that JOSM will
silently delete on upload.

Ultimately think the problem is not really at the editor level.  A buddy
system where changsets are looked
at by a second mapper would do far more.  Mangled keys often go hand in
hand with data that's also mangled.
