[josm-dev] JOSM interface for Tagwatch, OSBugs etc.

Well the tagwatch script would either have to be changed to emit 
"localhost:8111" links, or you would have to make a little Greasemonkey 
script that rewrites them. JOSM doesn't come into the picture at that 
point; JOSM does not see these links unless they actually point to the 
localhost port.

Do the tagwatch links actually contain a bounding box, or is it just an 
OsmXAPI link that contains keys/values? I would be a bit unhappy about 
downloading only selected objects from OsmXAPI because you would never 
know what was around them, so if you e.g. delete a node you would not 
see if it was perhaps used by something else etc., so a bounding box 
download would be very much preferred...
