I usually split my changesets into small chunks.

The only reason is to keep the changeset areas small and the possibility 
to add a meaningfull changeset comment for the next mapper.

Please, John, add some comments to your changesets.
e.g. for the changeset:
http://www.openstreetmap.org/browse/changeset/5357611
a simple "toy -> toys" comment is enough.

BTW:
I trapped into the "last message" issue of  JOSM, too.
Changeset 5358548 was a "dupe nodes removal session".

Werner
