[openstreetmap-website] Related objects in XML (#768)

[Ilya Zverev]

The problem with making the next version of API, it is too big. We would end up discussing for months a better way to represent relations so they are not broken ever again, and the area datatype would come up, and all the rainbow ponies stuff from that wiki page. We can make it small (i.e. I've extracted [small and doable things](http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/User:Zverik/API_0.7_Proposal) which could go into API 0.7), but this would still need an effort of several programmers and a clear vision of the goal.

As for performance, we should check it, of course. I'm sure @pnorman will think of something, he's great at improving performance :)
