Yes - it's all rubbish.

It's actually not _that_ big a changeset in terms of contents (although 
it covers a large area).  At the top of the browse page there's a link 
to the "Osmchange XML" - click that and you can clearly see in the XML 
that it's just a series of nodes and none of them have any tags.

It's probably worth having a chat with the author of the changeset 
asking them what they're trying to do and mentioning that it's a live 
database that they are updating :) .  If they're testing some software 
they'd be far better off pointing at the "dev" API (and if they want 
some assistance doing that, point them in my direction - I don't mind 
helping).

Cheers,
