On the note of needing the extra I/O pins, if you really need them why not just throw on an 74LVC343 or something similar? You can effectively get 7 additional digital I/O pins, with enough current to source LEDs if need be. I've added a few to my design for anything that is not performance critical, and it works great. This way I leave the JTAG pins for their useful purpose :) Alternatively if the $0.25 for the latch is too much then you can add a latch as a replacement for the jtag pins for debugging purposes only, and for production you can remove the latch and change the control to the JTAG pins instead. For simple "fool-proof" things like LEDs or peripheral chip selects this can work quite well.
