[Talk-ca] Proposed mechanical edits: GeoBase/CanVec Service Surface and GeoBase/CanVec name spaces

[Andrew Buck]

The easiest way to fix this may just be with a text editor and
xapi/overpass queries.  First do a query to get a file of affected objects
in a given area, then load the area in a text editor and do a search for
the double space.  Jumping the search ahead should take you not only to the
given object like josm would but should position your cursor right on the
affected spot.  This way you can check that you are not breaking anything
before correcting the space and moving on.  Alternatively the search and
replace mechanism in the editor could be used, either manually or if we
know for sure it is acceptable to do, a replace all.

I tried doing a taginfo query to find out how many objects were affected
but couldn't figure out a syntax to work correctly.  If anyone knows how
many objects are affected by this that would help in determining whether
manually checking each one is feasible, or whether it would be better to
just fix them en-masse and try to clean up mistakes afterwards.
