I think it would be cool to have something similar for the JOSM applet, 
but of course that would mean that whoever checks out the applet to 
osm.org would have to take some responsibility for it not being a 
security hole.

If the applet mode works well then I'm really looking forward to having 
the applet directly on osm.org (and I believe the preferences stuff 
should be easy to sort out). That might even convert some staunch 
Potlatch users to see the light ;)

However we'll probably have to slim down JOSM a bit for that. I can't 
imagine a 5 MB applet download working well. I think that's at least 5 
times the size of the Potlatch SWF plus additional images etc.

Bye
