I'd keep the accuracy:meters around. I've used that for other things (mainly denoting how accurate my gps is in obtaining geodetic survey markers, or what the accuracy is based on number of sample points being averaged). Wouldn't want JOSM to be wiping those out.
I think the ways tagged with sub_sea would need to be deleted, not just the tag itself. These tend to be hydrological topology connectors "under" lakes that show how rivers are connected. The entire way should be deleted to bring it in line with the rest of OSM. Not too sure about the waterway:type tag. Might be used in other places for other things? Can't think of anything stopping us from getting rid of geobase:* tags. Canvec imports don't have this, so it's inconsistent across the country, and it's probably not used anywhere else.
