[josm-dev] Checking tags

There's also a quantity check possible here.
Some of the really bad edits and imports invent ALL their keys.

The light red/light green helps for a careful mapper to avoid typos.
But a validator check could have a threshold when, say, 50% or more of
the keys used are new to the database.

-----------------------------

Really I think the most valuable check is not "tag not in preset"
but a warning "you are about to invent a new tag never seen before
globally:::: did you really mean to do that"?
