Hi! Please don't count me on the "Perl regulars" ;-)
As I've already said, these automated fixes have to be done very "sensible". However, last time I looked at tagwatch, there were already a lot more than 100 different typo fixes necessary - only in the german tagwatch list - without any "actual" tag changes! All of those restraunts, restorants, place_of_warship, ... If I hand you over a list of 100 or so typo fixes like: "highway=residentail to highway=residential" which (preferrably XML) format would you prefer? Regards, ULFL P.S: Maybe store this "typo fix list" in the svn, so we can jointly and "controlled" improve / increase the number of typo fixes over time without "inviting" newbies to change the whole world?
