JOSM currently does not permit to set the Google / Bing / standard
Mapnik projection if I interpret this right (there is "Mercator" which
is  EPSG 3857 according to JOSM). Wouldn't it be better to set EPSG
3785 (aka 900913) as "Mercator"? This would make reprojection of tiled
aerial imagery unnecessary. Or is the EPSG 3857 a typo and the used
projection is 900913 / EPSG 3785?

cheers,
Martin
