At least it bails out for OSMXAPI stuff concerning the planet date etc ;)

Yes - input is much more difficult. Fuzzy error injection ;) There are
linux kernel projects trying to break filesystem code by injecting
broken bits into the filesystem and mount/unmounting it until it
crashes ;) This wouldnt work that easy with XML
Why not create an archive of difficult corner-case xml files to
test against - correct and broken ones. Just small 10-20 line
snippets somewhere in the cvs ... Currently the format is not that hard
but i guess it'll change a bit with 0.6.
