While we should be careful about converting stuff automatically (mappers may just disagree in the changes - german street name Straße vs. Strasse is such a case), I perfectly agree it's a good idea to correct obvious typos in the tagging. A simple approach like having a list of rules like "highway=sevice must be corrected to highway=service" would be good enough here IMHO. If anyone comes up with a solution for this typo correction thing (I'm not a database guy), I would love to join forces by looking at the tagwatch lists and would help to maintain such an automated "typo correction list".
