Things I'd propose: A street suffix fixer based on MS Word's track/review that makes a suggestion and asks the user if it's appropriate, but not make automatic changes. Thus, semi-automation. Add additional recognized relation roles to the validator. Traffic Signal flagger: Flag intersections of more than 4 highway ways (dual carriage ways, etc) as possibly having a traffic signal and needing ground surveying for that and turn restrictions. Football fixer: Someone has tagged sport=football with fixme: ambiguous see the wiki. A fixer should be added that allows the mapper to select from the choices if they know or can tell from imagery. I may come up with some more.
