and then make a few edits, you will then have the choice of saving your
session stateful in a special format, or stateless in an format that is
almost like OSM XML, just with occasional non-numeric IDs. Correct?
So
I always thought that ID's were unique, even across object types.
However, I have an ID (26657678) which is both a node and a way (and in
about the same spot, which is why I detected it).
As I see nothing regarding uniqueness in the API doc, could someone confirm
this is normal and not some db
A binary XML format would be better to parse for an XML processor. But OSM
data is pretty structured. The point is that for line transfers a pretty
efficient format can be choosen that is totally unparsible by embedded
devices.
The actual transfer is pretty much irrelevant here. The goal
May be WAP WAP Binary XML (WBXML) encoding [1] would be a possible
solution? It significantly reduces the size of data to be transfered
while keeping the compatibility to the current data format. The
transportation could be still HTTP or a different binary protocol with a
higher

Hello everyone,
as this discussion on osm-dev seems to get very unfocused
I created a wiki-page
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/index.php/OSM_Mobile_Binary_Format
for such a data-format. So we can organize our thoughts on
the topic and together
Dear mobile developers,
We all have the same problem: the XML OSM format is not efficient for mobile
devices.
For the time being, we all develop our own solution to transform the XML in
whatever binary format suitable for a mobile application, often forcing the
user to use a specific desktop
Do you intend to save all the data OSM has
or only support a subset required for routing
and map-rendering?
The idea is to have a binary format specification.
The actual organization of the files will be up to the application.
Do you think about floating-point or fixed-point
