Sounds sensible to me.  I'll continue to use that format for now.  I'm 
adding a new task (maybe --bounding-polygon to match existing 
--bounding-box ... --extract-polygon could also work) which will look 
something like this on the command line.

osmosis --read-xml file=planet.osm --bounding-polygon file=polygon.xxx 
--write-xml file=australia.osm

If we change the format in the future it should be simple to add a new 
task argument like fileFormat.  For example.

osmosis --read-xml file=planet.osm --bounding-polygon file=polygon.xxx 
fileFormat=maproom --write-xml file=australia.osm
