As with JOSM, Merkaartor can take custom tag templates, which make 
entering data for specific tags easier, and they appear above the 
free-form tag entry fields. Merkaartor also allows you to customise the 
map rendering from within the application (no file editing). However, it 
does need installing, as opposed to JOSM's drop-in operation.

If you're interested in trying Merkaartor, I can come up with a couple 
of simple examples, or pop into the Merkaartor mailing list.
