There are some minor tools out there which don't yet support 0.6 (some
simply do a version compare and balk if it isn't 0.5 - easy for a
programmer to fix but maybe not so easy for every user). Only recently
someone complained that the Ruby osmlib does not support 0.6. I told
them to simply run the 0.6 file through osmosis and --write-xml-0.5...
but of course 0.6-to-0.5-translation could also be achieved by an XSLT
one-liner I guess.
