Maybe someone could build a tool in JOSM to be able to select an area of buildings and square them all at once? Right now you have to individually select them and that takes a while, because the Q button won't work if a node is also selected. Or maybe tweak the functionality of Q so it ignores nodes?
I was just doing this, manually selecting non-square buildings, for an OSM exercise in a class I teach, it was very time consuming.
