My (very) strong preference is not to introduce another mode or extra  
configurable options. That way lies JOSM. :)

So I'd suggest:

because we already have it: it's simply a custom stylesheet. As long  
as you don't include a !:drawn rule, then the offending items simply  
won't show up. The new @import syntax means there's no need to  
reinvent the wheel for most of it. There's already support for  
assigning keypresses to stylesheets.

We have an awesome stylesheet engine (even if I do say so myself) -  
let's use it.
