I'm almost done with this script. It's not a full bot, but instead
modifies an osm file which I will read back into JOSM and upload the
changed parts (or if that doesn't work use one of the upload scripts).
Changes in what It will do noted below.

Salt Lake City street names are a bit of a mess. They are often several
redundant names:
name = South 900 East
name_1 = 900 East
name_2 = South 900 East (an extra space)
and sometimes:
name_3 = 9th East
I would like to write a bot (or semi-automated plugin for JOSM) to clean up
Sale Lake City Street Names so that they follow the following convention:
1) The "name" tag shall include the primary street name as signed, _without_
the directional prefix, but with the "direction" (really part of the street
name and not a suffix) spelled out, for example "900 East". The street signs
do not generally include the directional prefix, and the prefix is generally
not considered part of the name. They are only used when forming an address.
Unchanged. I know the prefix may make forming addresses easier, but they
are _not_ part of the name and _not_ signed that way in Salt Lake City, so
I am removing the prefix. Also, most printed maps _do not_ include the
prefix.
2) A new tag "name_prefix", shall contain the directional prefix as one
of N, S, E, or W. (I will document this tag on the wiki)
Changed to "name.prefix" after noticing a proposal to use the "." to
specify prop. of a tag. This will be very easy to fix if a different
convention is agreed upon.
3) The "alt_name" tag shall include the full name with prefix, for example
"South 900 East". This is primary to aid the name finder, I'm assuming it
won't get displayed on the map.
This is now "name.full"
4) The "loc_name" tag shall the #th name (ie 9th East) when the street is a
multiple of 100, as that form of the name is also very commonly used.
Unchanged.
5) The "name_1" tag shell include the other signed named for a street (for
example Broadway for 300 South) when one exists.
6) The "alt_name_*" tags shall include any other names found in the "name_*"
tags which I can't make sense of. These can be hand checked later.
I'm not going to do this. Instead I am going to simply remove variants on
"name" (for example all other names in the "900 East" example). And than
leave all other name_* and *_name alone (i.e. name_1, alt_name, etc).
When the alternate name is a numbered street, it will get the ".prefix"
and ".full" tags. For example:
name: Lorna Circle
name_1: 3805 South
name_1.prefix: W
name_1.full: West 3805 South
