!!! Make all your tests on http://api06.dev.openstreetmap.org/ !!!

Nota: All your requests should be authetified either with basic auth or 
oauth.

You can read on http://fwd4.me/2Fs that you should :
1. open a changeset
    http put to /api/0.6/changeset/create with payload :
     <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
     <osm version="0.6">
     <changeset>
       <tag k="created_by" v="your_editor/0.1" />
     </changeset>
     </osm>
    and read the changetid (result of the http request)
2. update a node
    http put to /api/0.6/node/_NodeId_ with payload
     <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
     <osm version="0.6">
     <node id="_NodeId_" changeset="_CSId_" lat="..." lon="...">
       <tag k="poi" v="your poi" />
     </node>
     </osm>
3. close the changeset
    http put without payload to /api/0.6/changeset/_CSId_/close

You can also make many changes in one changeset, just close it at the 
end of your session.

To create a node, put data to api/0.6/node/create (you'll get nodeid by 
return).

Is that enough short and clear ?
