Mine would be that I don't feel like installing osmosis+java.
Another problem would be if osmosis doesn't support piping the output
xml to stdout.
I'd hope there would at least be a reference implementation in C
before the existing standard was removed.
I'm not sure exactly what files it is we're talking about changing, though.
