Thanks for some really great ideas - will take a look at them  
properly in the next few days.

0.9a (hopefully some time later today, or tomorrow) has a little  
refinement to make it more difficult to drag ways by accident:  
instead of clicking and dragging, you have to click, hold for a very  
short period of time, and then drag. In my experience this makes it  
much less accident-prone - if you're intending to drag the way,  
you'll probably be holding anyway. I'll post to the list when it's  
ready.

cheers
