Nothing against JOSM's internal structure but it seemed to me that Avar 
was looking for a rather general OSM library, whereas even today, and 
even if you look at the base layer of objects in JOSM, everything is 
geared towards being an editor - you'll find projected coordinates in 
the node objects, your primitives will have flags saying whether they 
are editable or not, and so on. All this is perfectly OK in the JOSM 
context but I wouldn't want that overhead for general OSM data processing.
