It would be useful if your code is able to read and write gz format. Alternatively, if it is able to read from stdin and write to stdout then pipes can be used in combination with the zcat and gzip tools which is fine too.

Will investigate this when time comes..

.. Are you planning on transliterating roadnames and POI as well?

That would be the next step indeed. With a minor code change/add to do. At least I'm interested to see how ways are stored in osm. I could test this soon for Ukrain. I just downloaded all bbox's for Ukrain and saved them also. 445MB. That is a nice file for testing on way's. That download took two and a half hour. It is a nice object first to see how much time is needed for extracting the place nodes. Transliterating them and ading an extra tag.

By the way. In Ukrain there are 30741 place names to do and 347 done.
