Hi Sander, I've been thinking about your statements. Although I think you are not incorrect stating it should be easy to enter, I think your requirements to not use josm at all for this (with or without plugins) are a bit to demanding.
I'm a text console kind of person, all day long. I love the vi(m) editor but I'm not so inclined into xml-diving some OSM change files. Maybe I misunderstand this, but a good plugin in JOSM would probably help a lot in taking the edge of editing. There are other things that are hard to edit. Try the new speed_camera scheme for example: although I get what they are trying to do, it's complicated and for a camera that does 2 jobs (red light + speed trap) you have to add a single relation for each. Although this might signal a possible bad design, it doesn't make it a bad one by default. So, I'm not convinced on the 'clearly doing something wrong'. On the other hand, it's not a great design either. The only thing that I think is in the wrong place are the translations of a destination. (technically then). But I have to remind myself all the time it's not a relational database design I'm discussing. I do aggree on the subject that smaller roads are probably more important for all the reasons you state.
