Oops, missed that one :-(

One reason I always find plugins a pain - you never know
what features exist because they aren't in the main build.
On the other hand getting a PhD should have taught me to
research existing stuff before doing new work...

That's actually something I definitely didn't want - in my
case the road should stay put, and the landuse next to it
should join the road. Merging to a new average spot would
just mess up the road.

Does the plugin version compare tags for conflicts? I can't
check as it doesn't seem to be updated for 0.5 yet (get
error "java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError:
org/openstreetmap/josm/data/osm/Segment" at startup).

Thanks,
