Geofabrik has the Inspector tool, which is a bit inside-baseball but does a
great job of surfacing a variety of common tagging and geometry problems:
http://tools.geofabrik.de/osmi/debug.html?view=geometry&lon=-122.29381&lat=37.80892&zoom=11&opacity=0.29
http://tools.geofabrik.de/osmi/debug.html?view=tagging&lon=-122.33638&lat=47.55957&zoom=11&opacity=0.29
It'd be interesting to develop code for some of the more wish-listey items you
suggest, like parks with no trails or buildingless-POIs.
