First of all, this would have to be supported by the API as well. And it is always very difficult because "everything's connected". Imagine you download only traffic signals, then delete some and move some around; later you find that you have actually changed a whole lot of road geometries where traffic lights were actually part of the roads - but you didn't see that in your editor. (Most likely your deletions would not even go through.) Recent JOSM versions do have an experimental filtering feature where you could easily say "hide everything from me that is tagged planning or historic" (in Karlsruhe, we have a former railway line cutting right through a block of buildings). You can even combine filters and do a lot of fancy stuff. Experimental and not for the novice though.
