ok so I modified the above to:

<?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8'?>
<osm version='0.6' generator='JOSM'>
<node id="242086945" lat="52.360876" lon="4.9064347" changeset="1720154" 
user="mvexel" uid="8909" visible="false" timestamp="2009-07-03T12:58:47Z" 
version="7">
    <tag k="name" v="ABN AMRO"/>
    <tag k="addr:housenumber" v="47-55"/>
    <tag k="addr:street" v="Sarphatistraat"/>
    <tag k="addr:city" v="Amsterdam"/>
    <tag k="created_by" v="Potlatch 0.10f"/>
    <tag k="atm" v="yes"/>
    <tag k="addr:postcode" v="1018 EW"/>
    <tag k="addr:country" v="NL"/>
    <tag k="note" v="streetname corrected from Sarphatiastraat to 
Sarphatistraat"/>
    <tag k="amenity" v="bank"/>
  </node>
</osm>

after which it would show up in Josm and could be uploaded (I did add a tag 
though).

Until someone shows 'us' an easier way :)
