[OSM-talk] How to correct logical errors in some effective way?

Hm, maybe one should think about something generic... at the moment
the easiest for me to process would be a line-based thing (CSV or so).

A line-based list would also lend itself better to cut&pasting in and
out of the wiki.

Maybe we should have two lists, one for key replacements:

oldkey,newkey

and one for values:

key,oldvalue,newvalue

Do we need to distinguish between "node", "way", and "relation" tags?

I suggest that you compile a list for Germany initially and run this
by the community on talk-de, and if they're all happy I can make the
changes, and from that we can then make suggestions for a planet-wide
mechanism.

Bye
Frederik
