[OSM-talk] Question about automatic data upload

Rob,

Bit of a cleanup to deal with obvious misspellings and capitalised first
letter would be useful. so an autobot to do those would be good. Would
suggest that the list of proposed swop-outs get put on the wiki so that any
which shouldn’t be applied can be caught.

I'm guessing some of the list apply to nodes and the rest to segments or
ways. Might be useful to split by type too. 

Looks like the list of street names you have there are all in the US,
perhaps CA.

Cheers

Andy
