offsets are an approximation to reduce the inherent problems of some aerial 
layers, they won't solve problems like distortions. JOSM isn't more precise to 
find a "proper offset" than any other tool, I suggest you simply move the layer 
till it visually seems ok. Unless you do high precision measurements in the 
field you won't know for sure what is "right" and what is "wrong", or in other 
words: more or less accurate. IMHO, relative precision (eg alignment, angles, 
straight vs curves etc) is more important than positional precision.
