Taking just that one as an example, the description says:

"    Tag Fix

Replace diplomatic=high_commission with diplomatic=embassy + 
embassy=high_commission"

and

"This challenge proposes to replace the diplomatic=high_commission tag 
with diplomatic=embassy + embassy=high_commission."

In what way is this different from a mechanical edit?  Presumably the 
user should do some sanity checking to check e.g. that

  * This "high commission" isn't in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean?
  * It is plausible that country A has a high commission in this
    location in country B?

What other differences are there between this and a mechanical edit?

Best Regards,

Andy
