Also, the ability to split a segment in two exact halfs, by creating a node in
the segment's middle point.
And, the ability to calculate the centroid of an area. Maybe alineating
polygons by alineating their centroids??
Brainstorming a bit: When I fiddled with Autocad 9 (yes, that was a long time
ago), you could draw to special points
like "perpendicular", "endpoint", "midpoint", five kinds of centerpoints, and
the kitchen sink. I don't know how mant of those concepts would be useful for
JOSMers.
Calculate the centerline of an area. Useful if we *ever* get data of paved
areas and have to get lines out of that.
(Don't take me too seriously on those requests, I'm just thinking out loud)
Cheers,

We should be careful to get out of an experience only the wisdom that is
in it - and stay there, lest we be like the cat that sits down on a hot
stove-lid. She will never sit down on a hot stove-lid again - and that
is well; but also she will never sit down on a cold one any more.
