[OSM-dev] osm schema/dtd - planet and request timestamp

[80n]

OSMXAPI currently includes an attribute named osmxapi:planetDate in the
<osm> tag to show the age of the data.

It's namespaced because it is not an official attribute of the OSM schema.

There is definitely a need for an attribute that describes the age of the
data and it ought to be part of the OSM schema.
