I don't understand what you request at all.
- JOSM has tile caches which usually are small, but you can increase size
- JOSM is an vector map editor - its main task is to display vector data
- JOSM can load stored offline data files in XML and also PBF format
Everything already there.
OBF support could be included in a plugin, but I don't see much sense to
support a storage format of a single application.
