I now modified my idea and also allow modifiers below ways.

Try http://www.dstoecker.eu/josm-custom.jar

This uses an overlay for bridge-tag
with Color(200, 200, 255, 100) and width = waxwidth+8;

and an "underlay" for maxspeed-tag
with Color(0,0, 200, 255) and width = waywidth+1;

I'm not the design master, so assume that the style is done by others, but 
the idea would be overlays (or underlays :-) are configured in the style 
file. The above is only an example.

Width specifications for these elements would be:
- absolute
- +xx and -xx
- percent
