There's a good chance of this happening, yes.

I've added a ticket for this request
here:http://www.openstreetmap.org/trac/ticket/100
(you can do the same yourself using your openstreetmap account details)

If anyone else has experience parsing shapefiles, could you let us
know in the ticket comments - this seems to be the best reference out
there: http://www.esri.com/library/whitepapers/pdfs/shapefile.pdf am I
right?  If you know of good Ruby and/or Java code to read and
manipulate shapefiles, that would speed things up a lot I think.

Best,

Tom.
