[OSM-dev] export error (planet.osm)?

[Jonas Svensson]

When I look at a certain node in the dump I get some odd keys (odd, 
but no worries). However when I look at the same node using the api 
I get a completely different result. *That* worries me. Is there a 
problem with the dump process? Is this known?
