The "compatible id" problem is an interesting one. Long term I'd like
to see a solution to this as well. The replication features of osmosis
would be a prime candidate for such compatibility checking.
Perhaps this one can wait as well? I don't want to delay everything
forever but to solve this properly could be difficult.

That was my initial thought as well. I just want to make sure whatever
I do is compatible with windows and linux which I why I was leaning
towards the property file approach. I probably should check what JOSM
is doing.
