Keep in mind that while a full database dump will give you some things 
that are not in the old planet files, but the reverse is true as well - 
there is information in the old planet files (pre-0.5) that is not in 
the database and thus will not be part of a history dump. Specifically 
this applies to pre-0.5 way history. This is not really a big deal 
execpt for those who would hope to make "OSM history animations" going 
back farther than API 0.5.

Bye
Frederik
