Hi Yuri,
thanks for the input! I have read through the page and
also watched Jochen Topf's talk [1] and took a peek at
github.com/osmlab/osm-data-model.

I'm afraid, though, that I don't understand how this relates to my
problem. I'm neither qualified nor interested in a discussion about the
data model. What I'm interested in, is a file format for storing the
data with an index, so that tools can work with such files efficiently
without needing to index or transform (e.g. with osm2pgsql) it first.
