Thanks for the reply. Can you explain a little more about how I mark the XML data as upload=no please?
I had already tried using passing some gpx to the load_data command, but the data wasn't showing up in JOSM. Here is the data I tried. Should this work or does it need some modification? <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="no" ?> <gpx xmlns="http://www.topografix.com/GPX/1/1"; version="1.1" creator="HOT Tasking Manager"> <metadata> <link href="https://github.com/hotosm/osm-tasking-manager2";> <text>HOT Tasking Manager</text> </link> <time>2017-03-29T12:12:06.607678</time> </metadata> <trk> <name>Task for project 2731.

You can e.g. use "load_data" or also "import" to pass a new layer containing the information. Mark the XML data as upload=no or upload=never (since JOSM 11709) to prevent accidential uploads. The XML can either (mis-)use the standard style or you invent own tags and supply an own display style rendering your tags like you want them to be.
