Yes, we're not discussing a popup that says "You dumbass, why did you create a world-spanning changeset?" ;) The way in which editors deal with that would likely differ; in JOSM it might be a popup that says "are you sure?" and in ID it might be a floating warning somewhere. Your example of a world-wide spelling fix as an acceptable edit does not agree with me; these edits often have unwanted side effects. See https://wiki.openstreetmap.org ("if someone has described a 'horse' as a 'kow' correcting the spelling to 'cow' does not make the description correct"). OSM is a project of local knowlege. World-spanning changesets compatible with that idea are not impossible but rare; and erroneous or even rule-violating changesets are much more frequent among world-spanning changesets than among everyday small bbox changesets.
