[Openstreetmap] API feature request

[SteveC]

Hi,

We're trying to rapidly ditch the xml-rpc in favour of a restful api.
See: http://www.openstreetmap.org/wiki/index.php/REST

Its a little out of date given some work done today. I'll update when
activity finishes...

Feel free to sketch out api things there, but we hear the request loud
and clear :-)
