In that case the last missing point would be to have WMS plugin also parse 
the projection and set (ask user) the JOSM projection accordingly. The 
projection classes already support the "tell me if you know EPSG:xxx" 
question, but it is not yet used.

Major reasons why WMS is not in core:

- Missing GetCapabilities support
- Missing proper handling of projections as well as switches in projection
- Bad error handling of external HTML loading
- External HTML loading at all

Where the 4th point maybe insolvable, I will integrate WMS in core as soon 
as the first 3 are fixed.
