[Loadstone] geocoder & openstreetmap

[Rob Melchers]

Both the XAPI 0.6 and informationsfreeway are still pretty unstable at this 
moment. I'm monitoring it on a weekly basis and as soon as the OSM people 
have the bandwith problems sorted out I will return to the direct download 
possibility. For the on-line service we have to consider the limited 
filesize of the LS server and as known a .osm XML file only contains 5% 
usable data for the LS database, so we need some kind of control of the XML 
size file that is offered for download.
