[OSM-dev] How to use XAPI

[bernhard zwischenbrugger]

Hi all

My next project is an XAPI map.
You can see a prototype at:
http://www.khtml.org/osm/v0.76/examples/xapi.html

It is possible to make a global search for
power_source=nuclear

But a global search for
amenity=restaurant
would bring too much results and it would produce too much load for the db.

My question:
Is there a possiblity to bring this feature to the normal users?
Is there an undocumented limit parameter to reduce the output to a 
maximum number of results?
Any other ideas how to enable this feature?
