This is exactly what I was doing with the conflation plugin for JOSM.
Unfortunately I haven't had time to work on it for some time, but the code
is on GitHub. It uses the Vivid Solutions Java Topology Suite that went
into making RoadMatcher and other conflation tools. Last I used the
conflation plugin it was pretty good at matching simple features, but could
really use some improvements such as smarter weighting. I hadn't gotten to
working with linear features yet.
