[OSM-talk] OSM xml extension element

[Nicola Ranaldo]

Is it possible to define an xml extension element or a namespace for 
applications specific pourpose?

I need something like:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<osm version="0.3" generator="OpenStreetMap server">
 <metadata>
	<description>Italian Map</description>
	<date>2007-01-01</date>
	<layer>Administrative Boundaries</Layer>
	<origin>Vmap0</origin>
	<author>Niko</author>
 </metadata>
  <node id="18127827" lat="41.00615667" lon="14.43149333" visible="true" 
timestamp="2006-10-12 00:30:37
">
  </node>
.....

...
</osm>
