If you are offering the two alternatives (1) leave bad imports easy to
find, or (2) cloak bad imports by fixing their tags and therefore allow
one single person to work more effectively, then (1) is clearly
preferrable.

Ignoring list entries that simply have a capitalisation problem doesn't
seem a huge problem to me, and I could do that without actually changing
them all in OSM.
