@Martin: you are right there, naturally. I should have said "You cannot do this automatically with a mass edit. You need to consider each situation.

@Eric: I looked at more examples, and I have to admit that you are right with your statistical (0.1%) argument. Most cases I looked at, are obvious accidental tagging errors. I checked for Madagascar. I found one case and I'm the author :-p I first added embankment and later cute a small part of

I think a good test case for testing if this can handle ongoing and complex conflicts would be Kashmir, as it's currently five-ways disputed between Pakistan, India, China, a Kashmir separatist/freedom/independence movement, and recently displaced-from-Afghanistan irregular Islamic fundamentalist
