AFAIK this is possible right now. Just use PostGis database of world, connect GeoServer like renderer / transformer to WMS / WFS / WSC and add WMS layer to JOSM. So in JOSM you could view whole world from PostGis (postgres) database.
One problem is imho sld style for rendering which I doesnt found and it probably have to be writen manually. PS: searching thru WFS could be probably done by cql query. But Iam not sure about this.
