The good news is that I have resolved the outstanding problems and now 
have a tree which passes all tests. I've pushed the source to the rails3 
branch in my github account:

   http://github.com/tomhughes/openstreetmap-website/tree/rails3

I have also set up a running test version on the dev server:

   http://rails3.apis.dev.openstreetmap.org/

Please do test it out people, and report any problems here.

I have now completed the move to AREL and updated to rails 3.1.0 in my 
tree. Hopefully 3.1.1 will be out next week which will resolve a few 
minor glitches.

This I have left as a project for the future.
