@jamesmikedupont: What is your vision for this project? Do you try to
create a cut down version of JOSM that runs in a browser or will it be a
completely new editor that happens to reuse some source code from
another project?
What are the limitations of a gwt/js port? Is it still possible to open
a local gpx file or do I have to upload it to some server, first? Same
question for image files.
Anyway, great idea, let's see how it performs compared to the java version!

PS: Maybe you can find a better name for this... What about JOSM-- :)
