Hi,

As we are starting to use the full history dumps more and defining a PBF
version for them, the question of the filename extenstions (suffixes) used for
the different kinds of OSM files came up.

Currently the following extensions are used for OSM files in XML format:

.osm  -- for normal OSM files
.osc  -- for "diff" OSM files

The full history dumps on planet.openstreetmap.org also use the .osm extension.

In addition, .osc can be a "replication diff" (that contains all intermediate versions, and thus possibly multiple versions of the same), or it can be a plain diff that only pictures the difference between two snapshots.

Opinions? Ideas?

While you're at it, why not define a set of MIME types to go along.

Bye
Frederik
