But what I suspect could be done is when iD in invoked from a HOT project it could restrict the options on things like highways to those in the wiki https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Highway_Tag_Africa which would save a lot of living_streets etc. being added in parts of Africa where there aren't any. Also reduce the numbers of highway=footway rather than path.
We might even get a few more building=yes tags rather than the range we get at the moment.
