[OSM-talk] Automated wifi=* edits

Hello to everyone in the OSM list,

this is a question about automated edits of the "wifi" key.
The goal would be to have all these converted to "internet_access" keys.
Blind edits are discouraged in the wiki for a good reason, so this is 
just to get some feedback on a very specific automated edit, that should 
hopefully not produce any error:

  * Only edit whitelisted objects, where wifi makes sense. Bars, pubs,
    restuarants, hotels
  * Only edit a very limited selection of objects that do not have *any*
    other tag than its type ("amenity","leisure", "tourism"), a "name",
    "addr:" keys and "wifi=yes" or "wifi=no" or "wifi=free" keys
    This should gurantee that no comments, no notes or other other
    existing "wifi:" tags or "internet_access" tags are misinterpreted
    or ignored

Can anyone think of a case where this limited automated edit could still 
produce problems in the data?

Thanks for feedback
Jakob
