Assuming the dataset clears legal, my preferred way of converting shapefiles to osm is using ogr2osm [http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Ogr2osm]. You get to write your own tag filters in Python (two samples are provided in the translations directory), as long as you're not doing any complicated automated editing of ways or some such. Last time I used ogr2osm, it wasn't putting version numbers into the output files, so they're not technically API0.6 compatible (Osmosis won't accept them, but JOSM will). It should do just what you need.
