Actually the JOSM-Validator is doing a very good job when it comes to 
crossing ways. It's warnings are 100% correct for me for 3 months now:

You get a "crossing ways" warning if two ways cross without sharing a 
node *and* not being tagged with different layers. As soon as you add a 
correct layer tag to the bridge/tunnel way the validator-warning is gone.
