[Andrew Hain]

Another voice to go ahead. It’s worthwhile to doublecheck that they make sense as sources

Thank-you both, and Merry Christmas to all!

says:

Acceptable usage

  *   Correcting obvious typos, for example changing hihgway=residential to highway=residential.

The capital S is not technically a typo, but my feeling is that this case fits the spirit of that. The capital S was used systematically by some contributors for some time, but why would anyone object to this simple change in capitalisation?

I'm not going to do anything without reassurance that it would be OK! I've never been involved with anything like this before so I very much heed the advice of the code of conduct to be cautious.

Given JOSM's reluctance to download reasonably sized areas, use the
Overpass routine to do the filtering for you

Ensure JOSM is already open & Remote Control (in Preferences) is turned on.

nwr["Source"]({{bbox}});

Then Export to JOSM.
