I fail to see the problem with what's already there.

JOSM's filter plugin helps a lot, you know. ;o)
Not really. It doesn't solve the 50K object limit of the main API.
The mirrored-download plugin does solve that issue in that it will answer
the request, but you still end up with an OSM XML file several times the
size of a similar area without such data, and JOSM is slow to unusable in
loading and many other functions, regardless of the filter, which only
helps with rendering time, and not saves, finds, etc. Try to work with a
100MB file is JOSM (instead of a 10-20MB for the same area elsewhere) and
you'll see what I mean.
Overpass API now has the potential for solving this particular problem
(editing with JOSM) if we can get it implemented in JOSM downloader or
mirrored download plugin, as long as someone doesn't start joining those
landuses to other objects (e.g. highways), again.
