I’ve used the NAIP imagery to confirm the existence/absence of something, since
it’s often more recent than the BING imagery.
I had used the WMS servers in JOSM, but having specific access to just that
dataset would be handy.

Another useful tool might be to have a repository of local imagery servers that
can automatically become available when in an appropriate area.

Yes, it has. I was using it not all that long ago.

Yes, WGS84 because that’s what’s used by GPS (which was, after all, the
original data source for OSM).
Of course, then there’s the question of *which* WGS84 definition we’re talking
