Yes, this is my main goal. I also thought of a small overview MapView in
the sidebar to not get lost when mapping details so easily. The long
term goal should be to make the MapView a real view that can be
instanced as many times as you want (even 0 times, which allows you to
run JOSM without a GUI).

The layer code I wrote already supports multiple layer sets, so you can
even have one view displaying the old OSM state + Bing and one view
displaying the new state + Bing.
