[josm-dev] Replacing WorldChooser with the slippy map chooser

I'd like to replace the world chooser in the download dialog with the 
slippy map chooser. world chooser is not usable in a senseful manner 
because if you zoom in close enough to be able to rectangle select an 
area small enough to be downloadable from the server one only sees 
blurry pixel patterns from the world picture. The slippy map choose on 
the contrary allows to select the download area right within the OSM 
data. The only advantage of the world chooser is that you can use it 
when being offline, but in that case you don't need to download 
anything, right?

What do you think?

Regards,
Claudius
