Maybe there should be a general good-practice recommendation / policy that bots running in this fashion to keep things in sync should only automatically add/update/remove a tag that they've previously set if the current state/value in OSM is unchanged from the last state/value that the bot set. This way, bots could be used to keep things up to date automatically, but would not automatically override any manually applied changes by other mappers between runs. (A sensible bot owner would have the bot send them a report of any tags that couldn't be updated for manual review.)
