What about this approach:
Automatically decide to keep certain changes (e.g. from one known 
highway-value to another),
automatically decide to drop tag if Levenshtein distance really small,
leave the rest for a group of volunteers to decide on.
Would depend on the number of such changes, but if the automatic cases 
are good, there shouldn't be too much left (after all, the decision 
wouldn't be very hard, if only the list would be provided in an 
easy-to-read-and-decide way)
