But it *is* used in JOSM:
http://josm.openstreetmap.de/browser/josm/trunk/src/org/openstreetmap/josm/data/projection/Mercator.java

That's the spherical formular, not the ellipsoid one.
If you draw a point on Mercator projection, it doesn't get saved
in WGS84 ellipsoid, it gets saved in the sphere.
