I was actually dissembling slightly in an effort to be polite.

I know. I could equally have written "this is a clear failing in JOSM  
which should visualise route relations like Potlatch does. BAN JOSM!! 
11!1one". But that would have been gratuitous, a little offensive and  
contrary to the point of a constructive e-mail. Explaining that has  
kind of defeated the purpose. Ah well.

I do use JOSM occasionally (http://www.openstreetmap.org/browse/changeset/4160689 
) and will continue to do so, at least while it still supports my  
system. :)
