In a scenario where you use --rri to retrieve a set of combined minute 
diffs, and if you continue with --wxc to feed stuff into osm2pgsql, 
would an intermediate --simplify-change then make sense, or does --rri 
do that automatically for you?

I'ts amazing how far Osmosis has come in the 2.5 years since it was 
first announced 
(http://lists.openstreetmap.org/pipermail/dev/2007-June/005390.html - 
"There are a few features on my todo list ... Upgrade to support 0.4.") 
  and how it is now a central element to much of what's going on in OSM. 
You were a total unknown at the time (or at least not present on the 
lists!) and initially I thought Osmosis was a slightly quirky tool that 
would probably not live long because its inventor would be likely to 
lose interest. Yet you produced something that profoundly influences the 
way most of us work with OSM. Hats off to that!

Bye
Frederik
