ivan at exabox:/tmp$ wget 
http://api.openstreetmap.org/api/0.5/node/156804/history -O - -q
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<osm version="0.5" generator="OpenStreetMap server">
  <node id="156804" lat="61.8083954" lon="10.8497076" user="LA2" 
visible="true" timestamp="2005-07-30T14:27:12+01:00"/>
</osm>
