" Of course. But there's a difference between "can" and "should", and the question is probably better phrased as "what makes you think you *should* do this without asking?" And even with typos, there's been a number of discussions as to why automatically converting e.g. hgihway isn't necessarily a good idea - almost all of those that I've found there's another way correctly tagged close beside it. So fixing the typo in these cases is actually not appropriate - what's appropriate is to remove the mistagged way. Hence I have an aversion to bots that aren't either discussed or well thought through. Removing "layer=0" tags completely is another example I've found - that's just destroying tags for no gain.
