I'm working out the errors that the JOSM Validator show me at México City, first, nodes near roads and roads not connected, there's lots and lots of them.
I have a lot of patience and are for the long run compromised with OpenStreetMap but I can't see the end of this errors in the near term :-s

You'll find that it helps to do one type of error at a time and one neighbourhood at a time .. ie, do the 'close nodes' first in a neighbourhood, then do the 'intersections without nodes'.
I found the potlatch link in keepright to be handy.

Fixing keepright issues is ok for armchair mapping on a rainy day. it helps to have imagery that makes it clear if there's an intersection or not. I think that the misconnected nodes are due to mappers getting tired, or mappers working with a potlatch client that lost it's connection to the server.
