Hi,
I extended JOSM RemoteControl to provide protocol version information.
Besides the possibility for clients to choose a compatible command set
this enables web pages to query for a running JOSM.
Because of restrictions due to same origin policy this was not possible
with the existing plugin. RemoteControl now implements CORS (simple
requests without preflight) as well as jsonp for the version check.
I implemented a live demo on the cuisine map. In the upper right corner
will be an edit button in case a running RemoteCotnrol is detected.

The new API command is documented on the wiki:

Hope somebody considers this useful.
Stephan
