I think it could still return any edits or additions in OSM format but I think more bandwidth is consumed downloading than adding a couple of street names in an upload.
It could potentially be done via standard HTTP format negotiation, i.e. client sends to server "I can accept PBF", server then, if implemented, replies with PBF document rather than XML. It would have to be implemented in Matt's cgimap program (no use to implement it in Rails I'd guess - if someone chooses to install a rails port without cgimap then everything is still usable, just he won't have PBF replies).
A possible disadvantage (that would have to be investigated) is the allegedly high memory usage of PBF writers. That could be a show stopper for our production environment.
