I think you misunderstand OSM. Your assumption of incorrect tagging is
wrong. There is a diversity of tagging. That is how OSM works. Some will
say 'how will data consumers deal with this muddle?'. That question is
usually asked by people who have not tried to use OSM data. People who
use OSM data know that it *always* needs processing to be useful for the
particular use it is being put to. Dealing with that diversity is part
of this processing and not especially difficult nor does it add much to
the process. Anyone who has written such a process to do this then has a
template to do this again easily.
Diversity in tagging is not a problem. Mechanical edits that destroy
detail or upset precious mappers who have their carefully chosen tagging
replaced by a remote person are a problem.
