[Openstreetmap] Uploading complete 0.2 XML files via the API

[SteveC]

Something along those lines would be good.

I just updated the data stats, it's quicker now and shows the number of
segments with tags.

As a general thing, requests like either of the above and bugs... it'd
really help me keep track of things if you submit tickets in trac as
well as mailing the list. I get too much email :-)
