I thought you were the ultimate advocate of "whatever's in the database rules". :-) Anyway, if this is implemented, it would be easy to allow a user to ignore the ignore rules (hee) so you can see all the raw warnings. I was thinking that this would be useful on the maplint layer, not just in the JOSM validator, in order to highlight real problems more easily. There could even be two maplint layers--one with the ignore rules and another raw (i.e., current) version. And you know "many eyes make bugs shallow" so even if a crazy person went around tagging driveways as motorways (hee) or whatever weirdness would be caught by the validators (multiple overlapping ways, etc.), it wouldn't last long.
