I understand your concerns on #3412, which proposes a new validator check.
But I do not share your view on #3669, which removes one class of bogus
validator warnings.  I realized that I have commit access to the JOSM
plugin tree, and I took the liberty of committing the #3669 patch.
I will hold back #3412 for now, because the anonymous critic has not
followed up on my reply.

Another class of bogus warnings that have been disturbing me is
UnconnectedWays complaining about natural=cliff or barrier=fence
next to a road.  I might attack that next.

Best regards,
