Well that is deleting. Everything else would be copying.

Especially on less common tags that are rather specific or subjective 
you will not be able to replace them.
E.g. tracktype, smoothness, mtb:scale, sac_scale and so on, would 
definitely need local knowledge to be redone.

So if you don't want to have any trouble, best delete any object WITHOUT 
looking at the tags, else someone who purposely mistagged will quickly 
find out.
Also things like name:en and other languages, simply redoing every tag 
shouldn't be done at all.
