The migrations should work, though it is known that they break when
there is duplicate keys in the tags of a particular node/way/relation.

JOSM is the only option at the moment as Potlatch and Merkator haven't
been upgraded to 0.6 yet.
I have added a section on the wiki about how to use JOSM for API 0.6
testing.

Am I right in thinking that when you import the planet [extract] into
mysql using osmosis it will populate the history tables for you, and
with each changeset, will add to the history, updating the current
tables? I've not yet had a need to use osmosis.

Gah, seems I misread the Planet.osm wiki page, when I was looking for
a tool to load the data in the database.
