All very good, and incredibly useful. However if you start looking at 
the Western extremities (e.g. Pembrokeshire), you will find that by 
about 5 degrees west, the difference between Grid North and True North 
becomes so great that even within a 1km square, that the tiles really 
need skewing to fit the JOSM display.

(Either that, or JOSM needs an option of OSGB projection as well as 
Mercator or EPSG:4326), which of course wouldn't make much sense outside 
the UK.
