I agree that GeoJSON is not the format you would like to query your data. I wanted to refer to the way the data is available for download. To put it into other words: instead of raw xml (like now) a precomputed GeoJSON. Packing all OSM objects into a feature collection would be again a night mare as you need a huge amount of RAM. But having one GeoJSON object per line could work much better and would allow the creation of an OSM object stream easily. Without downloading the entire dataset on disk first.
