If something like this were to be implemented in JOSM (or any other 
editor for that matter!), may I propose that it not be limited to this 
single example?

I would like to be able to lock all kind of data, and for some types I 
won't even mind if it's the default and I have to explicitly acknowledge 
a popup when I want to edit it. Boundary data comes to mind, as one of 
the best examples of the latter scenario.

But really, currently it's just too easy to inadvertently connect a road 
way to a landuse way or a boundary way. Not that that's in any way 
'illegal' if you really want to do it, but a 'cautious editing' mode in 
the editor could really help with a lot of these inadvertent or (dare I 
say it?) newbie mistakes.
