[OSM-dev] XAPI

[Simon Poole]

There are multiple reasons why this is not going to work, not the least
that there have been no public native XAPI servers available for a very
long time.

See http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Xapi

But in any case extracting anything for the whole world from any API is
not a good idea, I would suggest downloading a planet dump and filtering
the objects out of it, or asking a friendly operator of a osm2pgsql
server with the whole planet imported to generate a list of schools for you.

The other thing to take in to account, that while we undoubtedly have a
lot of schools in OSM and in some areas will have 100% coverage this is
definitely not universal.
