Improvements with locally deleted objects

[naoliv]

What sometimes I would like to have and do in JOSM, with locally deleted objetcs (ie, I have deleted something inside JOSM and not yet uploaded to OSM)

Search
Using a possible deleted parameter, like modified

Display
Toggling/enabling/clicking on some option, the deleted objects could be displayed on the map, using a different and highlighted color

Undelete
An option to select the deleted object and undelete it.
What I have to do know:

• save the .osm file
• open it in a text editor
• remove the action='delete' from the objects
• reopen it in JOSM

Sometimes it's also necessary to delete all the action='delete' objects in the file and redownload them.

Purge
Like we can already purge modified and non-modified objects, we could also purge the deleted ones (ie, just forget that I have deleted the object and simply remove it from my local data)

Search was implemented in [11446]
Purge seems to apply too?

Display and Undelete are a non-trvial tasks, as JOSM does not necessarily keep the original state. Thus a simple mechanism like described above will cause lots of problems.

For these very specific examples shown here I'd suggest purging the deleted objects (which is possible using the search option) and redownload them. I see no reason in supporting this workflow in the editor better than possible now.
