When we aim for standardization, we could also give the XML scheme for
OSM XML [1] some love and release it as the one OSM XML scheme. With
the rising number of applications writing OSM XML interoperability
issues arise. Often it is unclear which of both application omits
required fields/attributes and/or takes optional files/attributes for
granted.

Cheers,
Simon
