Sounds like a good idea for a plugin.
In fact there are already plugins that try to do things like this for common scanner mistakes. I am not sure if they are word list driven or not.
Obviously this list would need to be language specific.
Would this word list of find and replaces be book specific or reasonably static?
Could it be autogenerated from spellcheck and suggestion output?
Let's see what other people think, especially plugin devs.

Hope this will clarify my meaning.
