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?

How difficult is it to download an area to an OSM file, check for 
name=<ALL CAPS>, change these to proper caps and upload the file?

I'd say no more than an hours work.
