sources for the worldwide edits are the diff from 
http://planet.openstreetmap.org/hour-replicate/000/003/

in some cases xybot is using country excerpts from 
http://download.geofabrik.de/osm/europe/ but they are still very large 
and it takes geofabrik around 7-9 hours to produce them each day.

as i wrote before, this would lead changesets ad absurdum
