I would strongly support the motion to implement this as an ogr2ogr module: it avoids duplication, is part of a framework, runs everywhere and is widely distributed and will thus have great potential of widening the user community of OSM data. There are modules that translate shapefiles into/from KML and doing a similar one for OSM XML should be not too difficult.
ogr2ogr will be less work with more impact -- and very welcome indeed.
