Have you looked at https://github.com/osmlab/osmlint <https://github.com/osmlab/osmlint> ? Of all the current validation efforts, that seems like the most promising.
I’d definitely echo what other people are saying about avoiding the osm wiki if possible. It works on vector tiles though, so to stuff it into an editor like iD, we would need to write some kind of pipeline that does: “current view of stuff in editor” -> "vector tile" -> "osmlint engine" -> “results (geojson)” -> “back to the editor for user to see" It might work? Also… This problem of “validating OSM” is really unbounded. You should know that before you start working on it! I’m not one to tell people not to work on something but.. It’s really hard! Tags are just made up all the time by people. Can a `highway=residential` connect to a `power=line`? - no! Can a `highway=service` connect to a `power=substation` - uhh, I guess! Can a `highway=??` connect to a `power=thing_i_just_made_up`? - haha!
