We're doing this work manually right now and are well under way. It's quite time intensive though - any examples of where such a cleanup process has been automated on OSM before?

I ran such a process on the POI names in Girona that were imported
just before the SOTM'10.  Accents were correct already and python
dealt with them correctly.  The only special cases were some
prepositions that are written in lower case and the Catalan use of
apostrophe.

http://www.openstreetmap.org/browse/changeset/5073672 is one of the changesets.

Cheers
