As somebody who makes substantial use of the data, I would really prefer to
see a proactive effort to update existing nodes/ways. OSM data becomes quite
useless when you get tagging this mixed. Since this wouldn't be a
destructive edit - you just, for example, add culture=museum to a feature
already tagged with tourism=museum - I don't have a problem with a bot or
efforts to mass-update certain cities. I'd certainly do the whole of London
in the absence of a bot.

We have to find some resolution to this! I completely disagree and think it
may be a linguistic difference - nobody in the British art world would find
your solution appropriate :-)

Well one is an accepted amenity but is arguably better placed in culture
(nightclub), the other is another long-dormant proposal that is also a
cultural venue. So yes, they're relevant.

That is true, we will also need to describe for the avoidance of doubt when
it is appropriate to mark a memorial as an art work and vice versa.
