Gabriel,

Yes I meant OSM XML (the stuff you get from
http://www.openstreetmap.org/api/0.5/map?).

It seems weird to have to download an application (or use Flash) just
to upload a few nodes, plus I couldn't get JOSM nor Merkaartor to
compile on my machine. Is there a direct upload interface?

I looked at some recent GPX tracks
(http://www.openstreetmap.org/traces) and they are in XML format, but
I wasn't sure if I could/should upload nodes with names, tags, etc.

Is there an easy way to upload nodes that come
public-domain-but-not-GPS sources?

If not, will someone w/ JOSM (or whatever) volunteer to upload these
for me (if yes, just let me know what format you'd like them in, thanks!)?
