I vote for ogr2ogr too! It is a tool i use for every GIS conversion
possible.
OSGeo has officialy been accepted as Google Summer of Code mentoring
organization. They have some ideas regarding GDAL/OGR, one of them being
the read functions for KML.
Perhaps we can join forces to see if a project can be started for OSM
read/write functions in ogr2ogr?

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.

I would add you to the project first thing tomorrow. Your help
will be welcome.

Why don't you write it as a driver for ogr2ogr? (www.gdal.org
<http://www.gdal.org/>) That's an oft-requested utility, which
would open up a wide variety of export formats. You could
start with read-only OSM access (which is effectively what
you're doing now).
I didn't know anything about ogr2ogr before reading this. I would
like to proceed
on this path as one of the things that is motivating me is that I
have a chance
to code in C# after more than a year, and I am missing that.
If I have time I would have a look at ogr2ogr as C/C++ experience
is not missing,
as my regular job is embedded engineer.

Does Jochen's Ruby Lib
(http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/index.php/OSMLib)
not work on Windows? It's highly configurable and generally
creates
any type and number of shapefiles you want...
I found this library while searching for a conversion tool but I
thought that the
it is now very simple to use, compared to an .Net application.
Also I have
no experience with Ruby :(
