But we could give them more than one button.

There's "save", and then there's "upload/commit/publish". The two
actions are distinct, and part of the problem may be that online editors
tend to merge them into a single concept.

I'm also used to saving frequently, but because JOSM cleanly separates
save and upload, my habit doesn't get into the way of grouping my
changes into a cohesive changeset with a fitting description when I'm
finished.
