Probably did, then forgot that was the syntax when writing this email...

Yes, that's my observed behaviour.

<osm version='0.2'>
<node lat='51' lon='-1' tags=''/>
<node lat='51.01' lon='-1.01' tags=''/>

Response: something like:

299927299928

i.e. IDs 299927 and 299928, written on one line.

It would be very useful to be able to do this. If I want to form nodes and
segments from a track in osm-editor, I will need to get OSM to allocate IDs
to the nodes first (hence, it would be best to throw all the nodes to
newnode at once) and then use the allocated IDs to form the segments, then
throw the segments at newsegment.
