[OSM-talk] XAPI URL for one way by ID?

[80n]

XAPI is intended to provide capabilities that are not available with the
standard API.  It is not intended to duplicate the API capabilities.  So the
quick answer is use the API if you want to get a way by id.

The longer answer is that it could be implemented in XAPI fairly trivially,
and was probably an oversight rather than a deliberate omission.  If it had
been implemented then the correct way to query it would have been:

/api/0.6/way[@id=xxx]
