http://www.overpass-api.de/api/xapi?*[amenity=pub][bbox=-93.66943,44.65302,-92.65869,45.25942] Only returns the ways or nodes tagged amenity=pub and inside that bounding box. In order to use the OSM file it also needs to include the nodes referenced by the ways. Perhaps it's not meant to do that (the XML root isn't <osm>) but it would be useful to have to make it closer to XAPI.
