[josm-dev] Monuments and presets

I've just changed historic=monument Wiki page (after short discussion on 
Tagging list), so its more precise, however there are still some 
problems to stop tagging false "monuments".

1. Monument in OSM is probably subset of what most people think monument 
is, sometimes they refer to memorial and heritage objects. We already 
have memorial preset and I think it would be good to also add heritage 
preset to avoid confusion (I guess this is what we could use by default: 
https://josm.openstreetmap.de/wiki/Presets/Heritage ).

2. It would be good to have some "disambiguation" system ("you mean 
monument, memorial or heritage maybe?") and also aliasing system 
("field" probably should be the alias for "farmland"). Combination of 
them both could make searching right presets easier.
