Up to now, we've been talking largely about addresses as point
features. However, one thing I think would be good to have is block
ranges on streets. What I mean is a tag that indicates this is the
1000 block, the 1100 block, the 1200 block, etc.

Currently the only way to fix a dupe node in JOSM is to delete one and
then re-extend all ways back to the other. If the node is in the
middle of one of these ways, you also have to split. This is way too
much work to fix a common issue.

I've been using
http://mapper.acme.com/
which seems to source from:
http://mytopo.com/
This least lets me flip between mapnik and usgs. It is not as good as
having a true background layer during JOSM or Potlatch editing.

Good old usgs topographic maps are copyright free:
http://nationalmap.gov/ustopo/faq.html
And often a very useful reference when mapping, particularly in remote
areas.
I am aware of:
http://toposm.com/us/
But is there a way to get USGS topographic slippymaps as a background in
JSOM?
ogr2osm converts the FDOT file just fine. It also loads up without
trouble into qgis.
But the road IDs are not very useful. Alligator Alley is 03175000,
which is not a FIHS number, or a Tiger:tlid You have to get the
localname.shp file to get more interesting names like:
