I'm firmly of the opinion that this is not work for a bot unless a tag is added such as verified=no so we humans can search for what hasn't been surveyed.
Wholly agree.

 A bot will just replicate the OS errors and then we'll never find them!
Also agreed.

I too have checked everything I have modified. A bot is just a lazy way of reaching some arbitrary target of completeness and completely misses the benefit of a survey. It will provide a phoney status that can be used in meetings to show how wonderful OSM is, when actually all of the OS errors will be incorporated into our DB when we can avoid them by simply checking on the ground.

OS Locator is a great way of using OS surveyors to warn OSM surveyors that there are new places to check :-)
