>> At SOTM I talked to Lars Francke about his history dump script that was run once or twice a few months ago. He said it would definitely be feasible to implement an extent parameter but that would require some significant rewriting effort. I am willing to look into this but it's in Java which is not my weapon of choice.. I would love to have a full history for a few larger areas at some point so it would make sense for me to implement this.

An osmosis version with history support would be great ;-)
- cutting an from the planethistorydump (polygon/bbox)
- creating a data version of to a specified timestamp
