I agree that there are many cases that can be fixed automatically, and your list shows good examples, but of course we must be very careful to not iron everything flat when there might be subtle differences. This is why it is important to have many eyes on such bot edits and document the details.

BTW, if someone would prepare similar list for some key 
(replacements of value A by value B within the same key, without 
any additional checks/replacements/conditions,
with explanations why such replacements are obviously useful), 
AND they confirmed that this tags are not very good at indicating places
where intensive cleanup/reverts are needed
AND list would be in general reasonably reviewed
AND publish bot proposal on this mailing list, like this one
then I can run such edit.

Preparing it is time-consuming, running bot itself is easy.

(lets say that offer is active for the next 30 days so noone will try this in say 6 years
from now, may be revoked earlier if people will try to post really badly prepared lists)
