[Tagging] Homogenize diplomatic tags

[Florian LAINEZ]

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

That's a good question.
The difference between manual of mechanical edits is huge: a human can spot
many mistakes (duplicate, incoherent geometry, wrong position ...) but also
improvements (switching from a node to a closed way while the perimeter is
obvious, adding extra tags such as "target", "country" and more).
>From my own experience, most of the time a MapRoulette challenge is better
for data quality than a mechanical edit.
