My intention is only to correct spelling errors and correct keys
that has been obsoleted by community decision. Or to help when
someone has accidentially used a key of his own and then found out
that (s)he should have used another. That is why I ask for help
with the list of words. For example: should "emergency" be changed
to "emergency_ward" or should "highwaytype" be changed to
"highway"? Maybe both are correct and should be left as is.
