What is a "doubled node"?  Any node which has the same lat/lon as
another node?  The US TIGER import created just one node where
limited-access highways crossed local roads at a bridge.  Sometimes
I've separated them by selecting the node, and asking JOSM to create
another node.  Now, maybe JOSM should move the nodes ever so slightly
apart from each other, but that's in the nature of an improvement to
JOSM.

It's definitely NOT correct to take two nodes which are at the same
location and merge them, particularly if they're part of two different
ways tagged with different layer= values.
