You should give a try to 
osmfilter.pl
If you take your area, download it in josm, save it as lets say data1.osm and 
then call:
 osmfilter.pl --filter-all --osm=data1.osm
you should get different files as output which only have filtered data in 
there. This would include filtering out every segment which is already found 
in the data1.osm-file. You can even use a partial planet-xy.csv file for this 
task. these are created by using
 osm2csv --area=?
where ? tells you all possible areas and then is replaced by the wanted area.
