As somebody who makes substantial use of the data, I would really prefer to see a proactive effort to update existing nodes/ways. OSM data becomes quite useless when you get tagging this mixed. Since this wouldn't be a destructive edit - you just, for example, add culture=museum to a feature already tagged with tourism=museum - I don't have a problem with a bot or efforts to mass-update certain cities. I'd certainly do the whole of London in the absence of a bot. > The other job, similar to the shop key, will be to elaborate a longer list > > of values and to clearly disambiguate between them.
