Hi Overpass lets you search for things like this, and then export them into JOSM. You can do it via http://overpass-turbo.eu/ - but to do it case-insensitively, you need to know this tip with regular expressions: http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Overpass_API/Overpass_QL#Key.2Fvalue_matches_regular_expression_.28.7E.22key_regex.22.7E.22value_regex.22.29
So what I'd do is: 1. In overpass-turbo, construct the query using case-insensitive regular expressions: [~"^ref:Chiltern_Society$"~".",i] - if you follow this link you'll see I've done it http://overpass-turbo.eu/s/r4W You can click "Run" to execute this query. 2. I'd suggest lowercase is the best thing to go for. 3. After you have run the query, click "Export" and load it into JOSM. In JOSM you can then use the program's own search tool to select all the objects which use that key, and you can then convert them all in one go. You can then upload. It's possible that some would find this upload controversial: editing over 1000 objects in a single find-and-replace is verging on the kind of automated edit which many people would say needs community approval. In this case since it's a specific region and if as you say it's your own edits you're revisiting, you might be OK...? Not sure.
