Remember also that you can use osmps to convert the saved output from JOSM into
an Encapsulated PostScript file. This can then be fairly easily imported into
other things for printing.

As usual with most things like this, I need more time to work on it. However,
adding most new tags etc is very easy. I'm happy to receive improvement
suggestions of course.
