a while back I added the version command to enable web sites to detect a 
running JOSM.

I thought that a version number might be sufficient to let Websites know 
which commands are available in the reported protocol version.

With the possibility to add arbitrary commands that seams to be not 
enough. I think it might be useful to provide a capabilities command. 
That would report back the available commands as well as the interface 
version of each command.

That way a website can discover whether the JOSM in use supports the 
requested functionality.

What do you think?

Stephan
