In January I have written some test code for "Unconnected ways" for
the JOSM validator plugin.  I use this code a lot to find ways with
loose ends which should be connected or mark dead-ends in reality with
"noexit=yes".  It can be found on http://www.dante.de/~bernd/osm/

The test code is not really efficient because it starts with
collecting all ways where a node is part of and then tests all start
and end nodes of a way not marked with "noexit=yes" to find other near
nodes marked as highway (or area).  The code on the web side is not
up-to-date, I will put a newer version on the web side after I am able
to compile the JOSM plugin code again without errors (I was forced to
replace the old hardware, just setting up all things).
